    My boyfriend and I visited last Sunday, and were very impressed by the rich history and artwork found in this monumental cemetry. Our tour guide, Karen, is very knowledgeable and amazing at her job! Cant praise her enough! ☺️☺️

    Absolutely mind-blowing place I can’t describe this place as just a cemetery, because it feels like something much bigger and truly breathtaking. Every part of this place is filled with incredible masterpieces and fascinating details. We spent around three hours there, and I still feel like we didn’t manage to see everything. Before visiting, I would definitely recommend taking a map of the place—it makes it much easier to find specific spots and explore everything more comfortably.
