Old Centro Español Cemetery

Tampa, Florida

 

Centro Español was a social club and mutual-aid society for immigrants from any part of Spain during the cigar-making heyday of Ybor City. The dues from the members enabled the club to operate their own hospital. The building which housed the club is now part of the shopping/entertainment complex called "Centro Ybor". The club members now meet elsewhere.
