Add PhotosRoyal Military Hospital Cemetery was the burial ground for soldiers who died while in treatment in the Military Hospital. The original Royal hospital was destroyed in 1732 by a hurricane and rebuilt by 1734. In earlier years the hospital could only care for (by royal decree) French military personnel and those in the King's service, but by later years it came to include the Spanish Military as well. Only military personnel from Royal Hospital were buried in this location.
This cemetery has long been out of use and covered over (as St. Peter Street Cemetery was) and plots sold for residential Contruction by the early 1810s. It was located outside the city wall, roughly under the modern-day block of Bourbon Street, Esplanade Ave., Royal St. and Kerlerac St.
Note: This cemetery contained below ground burials (not above ground tombs).
