★★★★★Edited 2 months agoAbsolutely 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.
