Cemetery of Punta Arenas Sara Braun
One of the most attractive tourist places in the city and one of the ten most beautiful cemeteries in the world.
Its avenues are lined by beautiful cypress trees, chapels, mausoleums, crypts and tombstones. Here lie the remains of ancient settlers, Croats, English, Germans and from other latitudes. It dates back to 1984 and its grand front door was donated by Sara Braun, one of the most outstanding women of Magallanes during the 20th century.
The legend says that one of the conditions for the donation was that she would be the only deceased person who would pass through that portal. For this reason, this entrance is closed and visitors must enter through a side door.
