This is a hidden gem that many seem to pass by, despite it’s inviting beauty and tranquility. Even my children (13 and 8) thought this was cool as it has catacombs built into the natural rock structure surrounding this church. The gardens are also immensely beautiful. The best part for me was when I stepped into the church, and I...

We wandered through here and took a ton of photos. It's such an interesting cemetery, and clearly great pride is taken by the locals/relatives of those in it. Fascinating to see the gardening done on and around each grave.

The most beautiful resting place I've ever seen. The catacombs are also worth the climb - amazing to think that hermits lived there.
check out the seven graves all next to each other on the main walkway. Also visit the rock church inside the cemetery
If you think cemetery's to be a bit gloomy and dull - visit this one. The ancient grave sites are ornately decorated and well tended with flowers and shrubbery. Perusing the names and dates is a lesson in history that shouldn't be missed. You will spend more time here than you think you would. well worth a visit.
It's really quiet, really nice cemetary, I thought at first it was a garden, due to different flowers & green surronding:p
went to the church and followed the signs to the cemetery but they disappeared. keep to the right. the Mozart family tomb is on the path in the center of the graveyard.
This sight makes a lovely stroll. You can photograph beautiful tombs and tombstones. But don't waste a penny on the Catacombs!
