With stunning white marble Italian statuary, crypts with bronze doors, interesting stories of 'occupants', and a humble yet beautiful chapel, the Christopher Columbus Cemetery (Cemetario de Colon) is not only a burial ground but a pivotal place to understand Cuban History.
Right in the middle of the city of Havana, lies the 'village of the dead,' The Colon Cemetry. It accommodates a large number of 'beautiful cemeteries' that might seem a bit eerie but are beautiful anyway! This quiet place has a charm of its own. The construction of this place has been done beautifully which makes it a peaceful place to spend your morning. Well, if you plan to go after sunset you might be lucky enough to encounter a 'Famous ghost.' Yes, you heard that right! A number of famous Cuban people have the Colon cemetery as their resting place. Definitely, give it a visit when you plan a trip to Havana.
