The Ancient Cemetery

Description
In the middle of the hustling city of Kolkata is an ancient, overgrown home to over 2,000 people, South Park Street Cemetery. Opened between 1767-1830 this cemetery was one of the earliest non-church cemeteries in the world and potentially the largest Christian cemetery outside Europe and America in the 19th century. What makes this place so fascinating is the combination of the tombs designed with a rich gothic and Indo-Saracenic style, and the overgrown marshlands that the cemetery was built on. Resulting in this hauntingly beautiful place, where the further you wander into the dark cemetery surrounded by overgrown marsh and tombs, the quieter the streets behind you become until you are completely lost in there...
