The Polloe Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio de Polloe) in San Sebastián, Province of Guipúzcoa, Spain, was constructed after the Real Cell of Carlos III, according to which the cemeteries had to be placed outside of any city.[1][2] Designed by architect José de Goikoa, it was inaugurated in 1878, and the first burial took place on August 12, 1878. Its pantheons have classical compositions made by various artists.
