Emucesa - Cementerio de Granada

A virtual guide to visit the Granada Cementery Emucesa.

Barreras Cementery, constructed urgently in 1805 next to the Nasrid Alixares Palace due to the yellow fever epidemic that gripped the city, is the forerunner of the Cemetery known as San José (St. Joseph) today. It has a logical location, in the privileged complex of monuments and landscape of the Alhambra, constructed outside the city on the orders of King Charles III.
