Here are some more photos from my last trip.

This cemetery located in Granada was used between 1876 and 1922, which were some of Granada's wealthiest decades. Buried here are many wealthy families and a few Nicaraguan presidents. Rich deceased individuals wanted to show off their wealth even in the afterlife, so huge tombs and statues were commissioned to show their family status.
