- Abstract
This article discusses the cemeteries of Tetouan, Morocco. The three major cemetaries of Tetouan, which represent people of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish faith, are focused on. Topographical features of the Muslim cemetery are reviewed. The Jewish cemetery, "Cementerio de Castilla," is the burial place for a generation of Tetouani Jews who had been thrown out their native Spain. Of the three cemeteries, the Christian cemetery has been the best preserved. The author feels that the Christian cemetery is a symbol of how Spanish Christianity persevered in Morocco.
