Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery, Underground cemetery and chapel in Nagcarlan, Philippines.

The burial site spans one hectare with 240 above-ground niches arranged in circular patterns and 36 underground crypts beneath the chapel.

Built in 1845 by Franciscan priest Vicente Velloc, the cemetery served as a meeting point for revolutionaries during the Philippine Revolution of 1896.

The cemetery reflects Spanish colonial influence on Filipino burial practices, combining European architectural elements with local funeral traditions.

Located two hours from Manila, the cemetery welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM without entrance fees.

The underground section contains inscribed stone steps leading to a crypt reserved for Spanish friars and notable citizens until the final burial in 1983.
