Historic Cemeteries

New Orleans' "Cities of the Dead" are world-renowned for their elaborate above-ground tombs and ornate masonry, a practice necessitated by the city's high water table. This collection features historic sites ranging from the 18th-century Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 to the unique folk-art markers of Holt Cemetery. Visitors can explore diverse architectural styles, including Gothic Revival and Greek Revival, while discovering the resting places of jazz legends, civil rights leaders, and historical figures who shaped the city's multicultural heritage.
