Protestant Cemetery

This heavenly oasis of calm in the midst of a ruckus of traffic has been the resting place for foreigners who have passed on to a better world since 1784. Officially the ‘acatholic’ cemetery, this charmingly old-world corner of the city provides a final resting place for Buddhists, Russian Orthodox Christians and atheists. In the older sector is the grave of John Keats, who coughed his last at the age of 26. Close by is the tomb of Shelley, who died a year after Keats in a boating accident.
