Guatemala City General Cemetery was built in 1880 , during general Justo Rufino Barrios presidency . Ruined by 1917-18 earthquakes , it never recovered its old splendor ; originally it was exclusive for the elites and presidents , but gradually the eight Mayan hills that form it were invaded without any urban plan , like what happened with Guatemala City itself after the 1917-18 and 1976 earthquakes
