BRIEF HISTORY

BRIEF HISTORY
Campo Santo de Laloma or the La Loma Cemetery is a
Catholic Cemetery here in Manila. It is surrounded by 2
other cemeteries: The Manila Chinese Cemetery and the
Manila North Cemetery.
The place (with an area of slightly less than 54 hectares

(130 acres) was once a hill, that is why it is called La
Loma, and a certain Franciscan friar named Fr. Francisco
Caviedas was responsible for creating this cemetery in
1884. It is said to be the oldest cemetery here in Manila.
It was once known as Cementerio de Binondo (Binondo
Cemetery) as the area was then under the jurisdiction of
Santa Cruz during the Spanish Colonial Period.
In World War II, the whole cemetery became a Japanese

base. It is said that a lot of guerrillas and those who
tried to fight the Japanese were executed inside the
cemetery.

THE OLD CHAPEL

THE OLD CHAPEL
Amid Manila’s oldest cemetery is is a century old beautiful Chapel
dedicated to St. Pancratius, an old structure that survived wars, typhoons,
earthquakes and other calamities, and one that stood the test of time.
It served as the funerary chapel of the cemetery since its opening in 1884
up to 1962 when the church services were transferred to the newly built St.
Pancratius Church near the cemetery’s entrance; used as a fort by Filipino
fighters during the Philippine-American War of 1899 to 1902; became a
cursillo retreat house in the 70’s to 90’s; currently padlocked, abandoned
and referred as “Lumang Simbahan“.
Its architecture can be considered as a pseudo-baroque with its elaborate

facade characterized by detailed carvings of various figures and ornaments.
The walls are made of stone blocks, its roof has a big dome and a cross,
and the sides are supported by buttresses with windows in between. It is
elevated and has plights of stairways on its front and rear sides. Both the
front and rear stairways have two stone markers on each side with the texts
“Evangelio”, a Spanish term for gospel, and “Epistula”, a Spanish term for
letters.
The metal gate has curly grills and is guarded by two white-painted lion
statues, while on the sides of the facade are another statues of two saints.
Above the gate are ornamental carvings with the year “1884” carved on it
and a circular marker with the classic Latin text “Beati mortui qui in domino
moriuntur”, which means “Blessed are the dead who die in the grace of
Lord”.
