| Sutivan’s cemetery was built when new sanitary regulations forbade burial within the town. A peaceful spot was selected for the cemetery, overlooking the sea and next to the chapel of St Rocco. Since space was at a premium, underground chambers were built with rows of spaces for graves stacked one on top of another. One half of the cemetery has regular graves covered with stone slabs, while in the other half you’ll spot little roofs with glass in them. Looking down, you can see into the catacombs, where you might see candles burning left by relatives. The entry to the catacombs is through a tiny chapel at the back of the cemetery. |
