Cimetière espagnol de Larache
The final resting place of writer Jean Genet
About this site
This Christian cemetery overlooking the ocean owes part of its fame to French writer Jean Genet, who had a special relationship with Morocco and chose to be buried here after his death in 1986. His grave, facing the sea, still draws visitors today interested in 20th-century literary and cultural history.
