The Cementerio de Nuestra Señora de La Almudena (English: Our Lady of Almudena Cemetery), former Necrópolis del Este (East cemetery) is a cemetery in Madrid, Spain. It is the largest in Western Europe. The number of bodies buried is estimated at five million since it was the main cemetery for the entire city from 1884 to 1973, and from the 1920s was almost the only one for the majority of its former population.
