After-Life in Punta Arenas

the cemetery in Punta Arenas where a number of very ornate mausoleums speak of a rich past of this city and the country ....

Punta Arenas, is the capital city of Chile's southernmost region, Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. It is the largest city south of the 46th parallel. Punta Arenas was originally established by the Chilean government in 1848 as a tiny penal colony. During the remainder of the 1800s, Punta Arenas grew in size and importance due to the increasing maritime traffic and trade traveling to the west coasts of South and North America. This period of growth also resulted from the waves of European immigrants, mainly from Croatia and Russia attracted to the gold rush and sheep farming boom in the 1880s and early 1900s.

    Das erinnert mich ein wenig an die Grabdenkmaeler auf dem Koelner Melaten-Friedhof

    Also from us there are chapels as these in the cemeteries.
    They are chapels of old families or people that also after the death he/she wants to show her wealth.
    Hugs, Emilio

    Very interesting incursion into a rather unpleasant place. Congratulations, you were able to communicate your emotions.

    It seems to me that the cementery is far more luxurious then the rest if the town.
    Best regards
