The most visited place in the cemetery is the grave of Amelia Goyri de la Hoz, a woman known as "La Milagrosa" ("The Miraculous Woman" or "The Miraculous One"). She was an upper-class woman who died in childbirth in 1901. She was 23 years old. Her stillborn son was placed at her feet when she was buried. According to legend, when the grave was opened years later, her corpse was intact, a sign of holiness, and her son was nestled in her arms. Amelia is considered by many to be Cuba's unofficial saint. Cubans come to her grave every day to ask for children as well as to ask her to heal their children when they are ill. Below are plaques, erected to the right of her grave, thanking her for her intervention in healing the children.
