fascinating, Feb 17, 2010
reviewer: Sandra Taylor from Melbourne Australia
This is the place to see, so very incredible to look at the graves, to
see the tombs and graves of famous people. the history behind it
all. We found this to be one of the best out of the way attractions
and its free unless you buy a map. A map is required if you want to
find your way to an interesting fascinating tour. take your time and
soak up the history.
