An absolutely enormous cemetery, one of the largest in South America with an estimated 2 million burials, the Cementerio General de Santiago was so vast I only had the time and energy to explore the mausoleums, behind this foreboding looking entrance.
Inside was a labyrinth of mausoleums, with corridors stretching into the distance.
Some of extended out into the sunshine and more open spaces.
In-between areas and toward the rear lush and colourful greenery could be found, and at the end of one corridor was a sunlight wall of remembrance.
Back inside of few photos to end with, tighten packed memorials in-between grand tombs, a Virgin Mary statue, and the chapel.
I don’t think I’ve ever visited a mausoleum. It looks vast and full of emotion. I love the way you included several views of different arched pathways…a hint of traveling to whatever may come next. Beautifully done. 😊
Thank you. There are plenty of mausoleum’s in South America, I think it’s a Catholic thing…
