English Cemetery in Malaga, Protestant cemetery along Vélez road in Málaga, Spain.
Description
The English Cemetery in Málaga is a Protestant burial ground with a temple structure that includes an Anglican church surrounded by gardens and trees. The grounds contain numerous graves and monuments arranged throughout the planted landscape.
History
The cemetery was founded in 1831 when British Consul William Mark realized that Protestant individuals had no proper place for burial and were being committed to the sea at night. The temple was converted into an Anglican church between 1890 and 1891, giving the site its permanent religious function.
Culture
The site holds graves of merchants, artists, and families from many countries who made their lives in the city. Their names and inscriptions speak to a time when this was a place where people from abroad put down roots and became part of the local community.
Practical
The cemetery is open only on certain days and closes in the early afternoon, so it is helpful to plan your visit accordingly. Entry passes through a historic gatehouse at the entrance, which also provides visitor information and facilities.
Did you know?
The Gothic gatehouse from 1856 was later transformed into a visitor center that now offers local crafts and community spaces. It is an easily overlooked structure that reveals how the site has served as a gathering place across generations.
