Belen Cemetery (LLL)
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/21/07
A famous place in Guadalajara that is located near SEMEFO. This place has been used since 17th century for different purposes. Nowadays, Belen Cemetery is full, and now is being used as a museum with tourist guides that tell you many legends of ghosts that are originated in this place. Also you can take amazing pictures of the creepy tombs.
You should visit this symbol of the city... around you can see and visit restaurants, stores, probably exhibits, galleries, etc... Is right at the downtown of Guadalajara, so, you can walk along and visit differents places at the same time...

i liked it because it has alot of art to look at and if you go underground of the cathedral ther are some priest's down there they will have it open some time but not always
