El Ángel Cemetery is a cemetery located on the 17th block of Jirón Áncash, in Barrios Altos, between the districts of Lima and El Agustino, in the city of Lima, Peru. It was inaugurated by President Manuel Prado Ugarteche on June 27, 1959, due to the need of the city of Lima to have a new funerary space, since the capacity of the Presbítero Matías Maestro Cemetery had reached its maximum in 1955. It is owned and managed by the Charity of Lima.
