Protestant Cemetery

Early in the morning the Protestant cemetery is a tourist's dream. As a holy place of burial it is quite beautiful, the grave stones are exquisite. A lot of the grave stones are sculptures of religiously significant moments through out history. It is quiet and an escape from the tourists, even the animals there, primarily cats are of a quiet nature. You can walk through rows of graves for hours and the only thing you might see is a cat pop out from behind some plants. At this cemetery the cats are taken care of and kept by some of the gratuities given. Passing out of the lot that is connected to the entrance, which is the addition by the way, is the smaller less full cemetery. Here is kept the Pryamid of Gauius Cestius Epulo he had a pyramid built, which took less than one year, and it soars above the city of Rome.
