    Quite impressive necropolis dating from the 4th century and which has housed more than 1000 graves! The place is fascinating and mysterious.

      “Death would gladly walk through the realm of joy,

      He would gladly press his hand on flowery brows.

      In ashes tomorrow and torn garments,

      With bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and a pain to us.

      Our games are followed by funeral processions;

      For us Saturnalia can be the cradle,

      Woe to us! of songs of the dead alone!”

      Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): “Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry” (1820)
