Si quieres visitar un cementerio distinguido y bonito es este. Merece la pena subir las escaleras interminables hasta llegar. Hay una catedral/iglesia justo al lado y también es preciosa.

Una fortaleza en plena naturaleza digna de ver y disfrutar. Es un complejo enorme en el que se encuentran el cementerio, la capilla...un imprescindible de esta magnífica ciudad. Puedes dedicarle desde treinta minutos a varias horas

Iglesia Preciosa y cementerio muy pintoresco. No había casi gente un viernes y se puede visitar por dentro. Recomendable.
