A trip to Rome - I explore the cemetery


There were many beautiful statues at the cemetery. i had a great time exploring.








Lots of the tombstones had pictures or statues that depicted the people burried there.


I spotted a statue that seemed to be holding something in her hands.


Flowers!


I soon discovered there were more statues with flowers and other things in their hands.


This one had a necklace in the shape of a heart.


It was a beautiful cemetery and a big change from the busy city.

We spend a morning there exploring, reading and enjoying the sunny weather.

Graveyards are always such quiet and calm places, with lots of history to see. Nice pictures again!

I do enjoy your pictures, but I will never just enter a graveyard when I don't have to witness a funeral. To me, it is just creepy. Though when I am visiting an old church, I do like to look at the placards and such.
