First Cemetery of Athens

I am a great lover of cemeteries, so AJ and I tracked down (with some difficulty) First Cemetery of Athens.

I thought the carvings of individuals and couples were fantastic, especially the men with their giant mustaches.


This section of the cemetery was reserved for the burial of Catholic bishops.


Check out the knives tucked into this guy's sash.


Two of these angels flank the entrance to the cemetery. They're entirely made from metal, not glass. You can only see that they're angels when you look at the right angle with the light backing them correctly.
