cemeteries

This site next to the old kasbah in Marrakesh was used for burials throughout the Saadian period (beginning 1557), then sealed up for centuries. It contains two mausoleums and nearly 200 tiled tombs of royals.

Dating back to 1627, St. Peter's Cemetery is best known as the place where the Von Trapp family hid out in The Sound of Music, but it is also a worthy attraction in itself. In the cliffs above are interesting monastic catacombs.
