The Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery (Maltese: Iċ-Ċimiterju ta' Santa Marija Addolorata, "Cemetery of Our Lady of Sorrows"; formerly Italian: Cimitero di Santa Maria Addolorata^[1]^[2]), often known simply as the Addolorata Cemetery (Maltese: Iċ-Ċimiterju tal-Addolorata), is a state-owned, Neo-Gothic cemetery located in Paola, Malta. It is a multi-faith cemetery, but predominantly characterized by Catholic burials. It is the largest burial ground in the country and has been expanded a number of times. People of all social background are buried within the cemetery, and it consists from temporary memorial plaques of the death (which are removed over time) to permanent monuments including chapels belonging to private families. The cemetery also includes Commonwealth War graves.
