  • By KillerRabbit
    No Museo here, and pretty small but cemetery had some elaborate headstones and tombs. Not bad but too small.  more »

    This was a somber experience. Walking around the small cemetery and viewing the craftsmanship of the past. It is a quiet oasis inside a bustling city.  more »

    It's a nice and scary place if you like the part of the story you hire a guide who makes the tour and tells you a little bit of this place
