This is a beautiful cemetery to see, it’s vast and seemingly sprawls on forever, featuring gorgeous architecture and crypts to enjoy. Sadly, there is significant damage to most of the buildings within the cemetery, so they are now blocked off to pedestrian traffic to avoid injuries. We wondered for hours and love every minute of our time there.

Very beautiful architecture (especially first impressions on the facade), serene walk in a less visited part of the city, surrounded by green. I believe everything being fenced (takes away part of the structures and charm) is a side effect of the latest earthquakes, but still. Worth a visit, deservs a good stroll!

Said to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world according to national geographic. I would agree. Well it's not exceptionally old, dating to the mid 1800s, the arcades are absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately they have sustained significant damage during the earthquakes. The city has proposed finishing the arcade all the way around the cemetery, but the design for what they are proposing is absolutely ugly and does not at all match the beauty of this place.
