Very interesting place near downtown. amazing graves with amazing architecture and detail to their tombs . I got to park for free.

The second oldest cemetery in New Orleans and certainly lives up to the title 'City of the Dead'. A good afternoon will be spent here photographing all the ancient tombs and marvel over the architecture and art. One scene from the classic film Easy Rider was filmed in this cemetery in the 60's, too. Bring some snacks and water for... More

Some inscriptions were too worn to be read but others could. The oldest tomb we saw was dated 1836 but since it was founded... More 

A short walk from the Quarter, but better to go with a group or tour if you're an out-of-towner (that part of town can be a bit dangerous). One of the oldest cemeteries in the US and a perfect sampling of New Orleans' burial traditions. See the tomb of Dominique You, Ernie K-Doe, and the future pyramidal home of Nicolas... More 

We had lunch at Commanders Palace and saw the entrance here when we walked out. We entered and found a guide Carla was gathering people together for a walking tour before they closed for the day.
