Santa Ifigenia Cemetery

The mausoleum of Jose Martí and the grave of Fidel Castro. A beautiful place with so much history. Change of guards every half an hour is a spectacular experience. Entry fee 200 CUP.

Beautiful cemetery, well maintained. Impressive is the changing of the guard.

Many famous ppl’re rest in here. Guard may ask you money but YOU DON’T NEED TO PAY!!

Well, this place is in every tourism book and seems to be one of the must-seen of Santiago. I've been there, and thought it's a very regular graveyard. I mean, it might be nice to see, but regarding the "hipe" for this place I was expecting something really more "must-seen". The memorial for José Marti is pretty, though. * Entrance is 3 CUC. * Notice you have to pass by the grave of Fidel Castro while entering, else it's gonna be a mark of disrepect for the Cuban guards.

When you go there, just go all the way to the right when you are in front of the entrance, there is the local (free) entrance. There you don't have to pay to get in. Otherwise they will ask you some money, how much? Just the amount they want to have that day. The cemetery itself is very beautiful!

A real insight as to how the cuban people respected their leader.There is also some other well known gravestones.Very clean and well maintained.The graveyard is protected by the cuban revolutionary guard.

Fantastic and peaceful place where to find a little comfort from the crowd of the city. Also , it's an interesting place to know about the city history!!!

Beautiful
