El Campo Santo

Old Town

Graves under the sidewalk give this 1849 cemetery an eerie twist: brass markers in the pavement show where 18 bodies still lie beneath San Diego Avenue. It's a pocket of California history with Spanish-style crosses and stories of outlaws like Yankee Jim, who was hanged nearby before finding his rest here.
