Description:
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, established in 1789, is the oldest surviving cemetery in New Orleans and a key part of the city’s rich cultural and spiritual history. Built just outside the original city walls, it replaced an older burial ground that was prone to flooding. Known for its above-ground tombs and notable interments—including the legendary Voodoo priestess Marie Laveau—it reflects the city's French and Spanish colonial influences.
