Cementerio N° 2 de Valparaíso, Historical cemetery in Cerro Panteón, Chile.
Cementerio N° 2 extends across the hillside with numerous mausoleums, stone monuments, and pathways offering views over Valparaíso port.
The cemetery opened in 1845 as a response to urban growth, starting as a mass burial ground at Quebrada Elías before developing into a formal necropolis.
The neoclassical entrance gate, designed by Swiss architect Augusto Geiger in 1920, leads to sections displaying various architectural styles from different periods.
Visitors can discover the graves of notable figures like Dr. Carlos van Buren and Mateo Clark while exploring the cemetery's multiple terraced levels.
The cemetery features a collection of sculptural works and epitaphs that document the evolution of burial customs in Chilean port society since the 19th century.
