World Cemeteries Collection

I really love cemeteries and always try to visit them when traveling. There are quite curious specimens.

Wamauka, Northern Argentina

In the Umauak cemetery, all the graves, as can be seen from the photographs, are guarded by dwarves. Their houses are visible over every burial place. During the day, all the gnomes were earning money in the city of Huhui - therefore, sorry, none of them got into the frame. The cemetery watchman, beautiful as the Khuhui God, played an impromptu guitar for us, taking 3 imperial pesos for his game.

San Michele Cemetery, Venice, Italy

For a long time there was a monastery in the fortress on the island, then a prison, but by order of Napoleon I the island was transformed in 1807 into an exceptional burial place for the Venetians. The cemetery has three departments: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. From ours here Diaghilev, Brodsky, a couple of Stravinsky.

Cementerio de Granada, Granada, Nicaragua

Bandar Lampung, Indonesia

Noratus Village, Armenia

Bagdati, Georgia

My favorite cemetery.

Tombstones as playbills, where the main characters played the last role.

Kandy, Sri Lanka

Now it is the most famous Sri Lankan cemetery with the secret burial of Tupac Shakur.

Recoleta Cemetery, considered the most beautiful cemetery in the world, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Lychakiv Cemetery, Ukraine, Lviv

There are about 500 sculptures and tombstones of completely different architectural styles and designs, as well as more than 2,000 crypts.

At the Lychakiv Cemetery, a large plot was also reserved for the Polish Military Cemetery 1918-1920. One of the most magnificent war memorials in Eastern Europe. After World War II, the Polish memorial was destroyed and looted. And in the days of the same Soviet regime, excavators and tanks simply razed it to the ground, there was nothing left that would remind of the former glory of the Polish boys who died for the liberation of Lviv. And only after the collapse of the Soviet Union with the money of the Polish government and the Polish diaspora, restoration robots began to restore the memorial.
