Entrada al Cementerio Disidentes

The City of Azul, situated in the centre of the Province of Buenos Aires, 300 kms to the south of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has a population of 63,000 (2001 census). The city was founded in 1832.

It lies at the centre of the Pampa Húmeda, a richly fertile zone. Agriculture is the main activity in the country around. Among the pioneer farmers attracted there were a number from Britain and other countries in northern Europe.

A proportion of them were members of protestant churches. For them, a special section of the municipal cemetery was set apart, the Cementerio de Disidentes. This is a record of some of the gravestones found within it.
