The British cemetery dating back to 1854, when the Madrid City Council gave permission for its construction and was intended for Christians (British) non-Catholics. With time it did not only limit to the British, and allied (Canadians, Australians, Americans), but expanded the list to other religions, such as Lutherans, Orthodox or Jewish. It's really worth visiting for an hour or so and enjoy a British cemetery in Madrid, very evocative and pleasant garden. It also has some burials of great artistic and historical interest. There are many tombs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who lived in Madrid: diplomats, artists, engineers, writers, military, nobles, etc.
