La Milagrosa in Havana Necropolis

At Necropolis Cristobal Colon, Havana's 'City of the Dead', lies the grave of La Milagrosa, a turn-of-the-century woman who died during childbirth, was mourned by a heartbroken husband and is revered by Cubans as their unofficial saint.

La Milagrosa, Spanish for "The Miraculous One,'' was in life one Amelia Goyri de Adot, who died May 3, 1901, while giving birth to a son. The infant, who also died, was buried in the same coffin as his mother, lying at her feet.
