Cabatuan cemetery chapel

From the collection of archival photos of the San Agustin Museum courtesy of Fr. Pedro Galende, three old photos, circa 1960′s, of the beautiful Cabatuan cemetery are featured here. Above, is the capilla or chapel sans the vegetation that now blocked the view from the entrance. This chapel has the most stylized skull and crossbone bas relief in the country.
