Our second outing to Valpo with Nicholas took us to the city’s 3 main cemeteries and the surrounding hills. One interesting aspect of the cementerios católicos and the cementerio de los disidentes (non-catholics) were their diversity, another reminder of the port’s multicultural heritage. Names on tombstones varied from German, Croatian, Italian, French, English, Spanish and other immigrant groups, and the hilltop setting makes a striking impression on those who visit.
Yet another impressive vista.
An interesting looking pub/restaurant

Valpo’s first Jail, in operation until the second half of the 20th century, is now a cultural center.
