I had the best experience at Tolomato Cemetery last weekend, thanks to guide Patty Marks. My…read morefriends and I were visiting St. Augustine when we passed this beautiful cemetery, but it was closed. We looked it up, and it turned out that the following day was the one day a month that it was open AND there would be Christmas carols sung, so we planned to return the next day. As we arrived, we could see people packing up and leaving, so we asked one of them What was going on and she said that they were closing due to the inclement weather. In reaction to our disappointment, the guide (Patty) offered to give us a quick tour. She actually spent an hour with us, and 2 other groups that joined. She answered everyone's questions, and had a binder prepared with additional facts on the cemetery and its inhabitants. Next year, we'll definitely be back for the carols.

The "OLD SPANISH CEMETERY" is also known as Tolomato Cemetary. It is locked and off limits unless…read moreyou find a tour. When you look behind the chain linked fence, you get the feeling that there's so much history buried here with many stories to tell. Tolomato Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery located on Cordova Street in St. Augustine, Florida. The cemetery was the former site of "Tolomato", a village of Guale Indian of the 17th century who were converts to Christianity and the Franciscan monks who ministered to them. The Tolomato Cemetery was founded in 1565 and dubbed the oldest cemetery in Florida. The cemetery is the last resting place of several Florida dignitaries along with unmarked grave for the Second Spanish Period Governor Enrique White. It is known to be a haunted cemetery that has plenty of paranormal phenomena & is filled with hauntings, ghosts, spirits & more. And although I didn't see anything this last visit, if you're sensitive you may just be able to really "feel" the spirit energy believed to exist here.

This cemetery is where my grandfather has rested for the past fifteen years. I visited his…read moregravesite this past spring, after being away for ten years due to relocation. It is hard living over 2,000 miles away from the resting place of your dearest family member, but I was relieved to see how clean and peaceful the grounds of San Lorenzo were--just as I remembered them from when we visited his plot when I was a child. It brings me great comfort to see that his resting place is so well cared for. Aside from my personal attachment to this space, San Lorenzo is also rich in history. Since Saint Augustine is the oldest city, San Lorenzo is probably one of the oldest cemeteries (dating back to the 1890s, I believe). There are dozens of confederate soldiers buried here, as well as Roman Catholic figures, such as an archbishop and several bishops and priests. San Lorenzo's main shortcoming is closely tied to the age of the grounds and similar prehistoric management style. It is challenging (if not impossible) to get anyone on the phone and they do not have a website. As a family member of someone who is buried there, it would be nice to be able to contact the facility or groundskeepers to place an order for flowers or similar tokens to be placed at my grandfather's gravesite since I am so far away and unable to do so.

"The saddest and strangest cemetery "…read more San Sebastian Cemetery is said to be the oldest black cemetery in St. Augustine. I did some research on the place before visiting it with a friend by talking to people, who knew about its history and have been there. Horribly neglected and a place strewn with broken glass and beer bottles. A hot spot for desecration of graves and voodoo rituals to raise the dead or necromancy. I was told that it was a very sad place. Reading up on it, I found out slaves were buried there. No one knows when the cemetery came into existence. They just know it is very old. My first and last visit to this place was two years ago, it was worse than what I expected. I saw broken bottles strewn everywhere and desecrated graves with broken grave stones. In broad daylight, I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness tinged with fear. I could see the beautiful well manicured Evergreen Cemetery beside it. It made the terrible condition of San Sebastian Cemetery seem more morbid and pitiful. I'm guessing a lot of poor and/or black people were buried here. There seems to be little respect for the graves. Volunteer attempts to clear the cemetery seem to be futile. The last burial in this cemetery was in 2012. I can not recommend this place to everyone. If you like cemeteries or have a morbid curiosity, you might want to come here. I like this place because it seems to evoke the most mystery and emotions among all the cemeteries I have seen in my life. This is why I give it 5 stars.

The cemetery is behind the St Augustine Visitor Center, a few feet from the edge of St George Street and across from the Old City Gates. The entryway has a nice worn black thin steel archway hovering above two thick cement pilars with a double steel gate. The grave stones are not in good shape, most difficult to read, but the property was well maintained but no attendant in sight. Since 1884, the City of St Augustine forbid any more burials. The cemetery currently operates as a non-profit and accepts donations to keep it maintained.
