The Christopher Columbus cemetery - this is the original
cemetery, and the "important" families have
crypts here. The one in the middle with the flowers
is that of a woman named Amelia who died in around 1900
in childbirth. People come and touch her statue and
ask for her help. To the right are hundreds of pieces
of marble that have been left as a thank you by people
whose "wish" has come true. The guide said
that we could make a wish but if it came true we would
have to return with a piece of marble. |
