It has rather wonderful ornate and decaying splendour and some botanical delights. This vast city of the dead has so many different sections, with churches, mausoleums and memorials from all ages and is a wonderful place to stroll through and be at peace.
Every year the HIDDEN Sculpture Trail is held for a few weeks in September / October in the oldest section of the cemetery amongst the gardens and the graves. You get a map and get to explore and find each of the numbered exhibits.
We just managed to see this last week before it closed - put it in your diary for next year!
