Granary Burial Ground

>
The Granary Burying Ground is the city's third-oldest cemetery. Located on Tremont Street, it is the final resting place for many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Paul Revere and the five victims of the Boston Massacre. The cemetery is adjacent to Park Street Church. Suffolk University Law School is the building in the background.

That's quite an impressive list.

If it weren't for the cars on the street, I feel like I'm looking at a well-preserved vintage photo.

For my european eyes, it's very strange to see a cemetery in the middle of the city, among buildings. ANd the shapes of those graves, with those engraved stones , is very unusual to me too. But maybe, to make the dead people rest among alive people is a good reminder for us all...
