Not worth visiting!

A review of this place: Claustrophobic

I’m not claustrophobic, but I felt very shut in here and uncomfortable. I did not enjoy being in the cemetary. In a way, I almost want to say that it’s decadent (in the negative sense of the word), but I think it goes beyond that because there’s not a lot of upkeep so you can see where things have been broken in, broken glass, etc.

If you’re into the cities of the dead type things or if you have family burried here I imagine that it would be worth visiting, but for me, it definitely wasn’t. I had to leave. It was creepy. To me, it wasn’t a nice place to visit at all.

Some of the sculptures and things are very beautiful, but they tower over you so that they are more imposing than anything else. Perhaps if I’d gone on a (what is it Tuesdays?) day that they give the tour I would have enjoyed it, as it was I did not.

If you have claustrophobia or don’t like having a shut-in feeling, I would not recommend it.

Get a grip!

Maybe you need to be more connected with our human mortality a bit better! This cemetery is beautiful, rich in art and symbols that you obviously missed because of your…claustrophobia????
