Maybe a cemetery with above ground mausoleums?

Or maybe the long lost graveyard of ‘57 Chevy’s.

I'm guessing the Jose Marti Monument.

From Wikipedia:

The José Martí Memorial (Spanish: Memorial José Martí) is a memorial to José Martí, the national hero of Cuba, located on the northern side of the Plaza de la Revolución in the Vedado area of Havana. It consists of a star-shaped tower, a statue of Martí surrounded by six columns, and gardens.

The 109 m (358 ft) tower, designed by a team of architects led by Enrique Luis Varela, is in the form of a five-pointed star, encased in grey Cuban marble from the Isla de la Juventud. The design was eventually selected from various entries put forward from a series of competitions beginning in 1939. . . . by 1952 – when Fulgencio Batista seized power in a coup – work on the construction had still not begun.

The monument was finally completed in 1958 during the final days of the Batista dictatorship.

The structure is the Central Chapel, which is modeled on Il
Duomo in Florence, and the “small buildings” are the tombs of the Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) Cemetery.

Could it be the Cementerio de Colón?
