There was also a cemetery, closed for excess burials, made since the transfer of the Capital to the La Ermita Valley. Dr. Mariano Gálvez conceived the idea of ​​converting that unhygienic square into a market that met public requirements, and for that, as a first providence, he arranged to move the cemetery to the large land called San Juan de Dios.

In addition, the stubborn opposition of the ecclesiastical authorities had to be overcome, since it was a sacred place and belonged to the Church.
