Cementerio N° 2 de Valparaíso, Historical cemetery in Cerro Panteón, Chile.

Cementerio N° 2 sits on the flat plain of Cerro Panteón, entered first from Cerro Cárcel via Cumming street. Its facade is a covered neoclassical atrium ringed by Doric columns, built in the 1910s by Swiss architect Augusto Geiger. Calle Dinamarca starts at its side and is the only street circling the hill's three cemeteries.

By the late 1830s Cementerio N° 1 was too small for new burials, so in 1840 the Municipality of Valparaíso bought land in the Elías ravine beside the Panteón hill plain from the Venegas family for a common grave. It opened in 1845 as Cementerio N° 2, and its perpetual-grave regulation became the model for the city's other cemeteries. The main entrance was built in the 1910s by Swiss architect Augusto Geiger, and the cemetery was declared a National Monument on 28 November 2005.

The entrance displays neoclassical design and opens into sections showing different architectural styles from various periods. The monuments and gravestones tell stories of individuals who shaped this port city.

The site is best explored on foot as paths wind between the different levels. Wearing sturdy shoes is recommended since you will walk on uneven ground and climb steps across the terraced sections.

A collection of sculptures and epitaphs documents how burial customs changed in this port society from the 1800s onward. These artistic and personal records offer insights into the lives and values of people who lived in this region.
