These pigeons seem not to understand the pigeonhole principle.

This is one of the main walkways in the cemetery, near the entrance.
|

The place has gotten fuller and fuller, making some walkways very narrow.
|

Almost every tomb is lavishly decorated, with many looking like ornate chapels.
|

|

This tomb amused us because its owner's name sounds like something out of a gothic movie.
|

The mausoleums generally have space for multiple coffins inside.
|

There are frequently altars inside, where family members place flowers.
|

Some are not kept up as well as others.
|

The streets go on and on.
|

|

Apparently the bunker style was in favor at some point.
|

|

This gentleman is memorialized in a statue atop his mausoleum.
|

This cross-shaped tomb is accessed by the black door at the back, presumably leading to stairs underground.
|

Because the walkways are so narrow, photography of the taller structures is challenging!
|

This one really looks like a (disproportionate) chapel, with steps and everything.
|

Although most are kept in pretty good repair, some are not. The holes in the doors allowed for some photos of the inside...
|

The right-hand doors lead directly to this staircase.
|

|

Apparently the rest of the doors on the right half of the building are just for show, as they open into air above the staircase.
|

The left-hand doors opened into a very dirty room.
|

One of the few tombs decorated with living plants.
|

View inside another tomb.
|

Monument to a number of people killed in a war.
|

Steps down to the entrance, behind the memorial. On the left are plaques for each individual interred there.
|

Next to the memorial, more plaques and a tree.
|

We amused ourselves by wondering how much this slice of real estate is worth, now that the cemetery is almost completely full.
|

|

I wouldn't want to get lost in here.
