5. La Recoleta Cemetery. 1:44

Located in the famous Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires of Argentina, La Recoleta Cemetery counts as one of the leading tourist attractions of Buenos Aires. The neo-classical gates with tall Greek columns lead to 19th and 20th century funerary art comprising elaborate mausoleums and statues, all in a wide range of architectural styles. The most enticing thing about the cemetery is sectional lay-out, with walkways branching into sidewalks, like city blocks, except for the dead.

4. Gladiator Graveyard. 3:45

In Ephesus of Turkey lies the Gladiator Graveyard, the first site to be scientifically authenticated as the cemetery for warriors of the Roman arenas. Remains of 67 individuals aged 20-30, with marks of multiple injuries from the repeated fights with wild animals, criminals or each other, in which the athletic gladiators partook just for the sake of entertainment, have been found by archaeologists in this site. It was first identified by the gravestone drawings of individuals in gladiatorial attire.

3. Merry Graveyard. 6:06

The Merry Graveyard in Sapanta of Romania perhaps derives its name from the intention Stan loan Patras in1930 to create a happy memory of the departed soul, by carving his/her picture on a brightly coloured wooden cross to mark the grave, often illustrating how the person died, and accompanied by a short poem about person. He thus captured memories of the Depression, WW-II and Communist Regime. Upon his, death, he was given the brightest grave marker by his assistants.

2. Capuchin Catacombs. 8:00

The Capuchin Catacombs in Polermo of Sicily displays the dead in a dramatic manner, by keeping the corpses mummified and kept in their regular clothing in underground crypts, since the 16th century. Today, about 8000 mummies, including those of monks, the rich and the noble of Palermo, line the walls. The formula for mummification has been changed, the body of two old Rosalia Lombardo, who died in 1920, being an excellent example of how well the new formula can preserve the body.

1. Highgate Cemetery. 12:45

The Highgate Cemetery is a Victorian era cemetery, set across 37 acres of overgrown woodland of London in England. It has about 53,000 graves with 170,000 people buried there. The cemetery is also noted for de facto status as a nature reserve. What’s chilling about this cemetery is that the spectacular statues of people, animals and angels, all reflecting the Victorian era’s obsession with ancient Egypt, stand in varied levels of decay, highlighting both their fascination with morbidity.
