Vilnius is full of impressive cemeteries, like this one here. Among the more famous ones is Rasos cemetery. It's the oldest in the city and, of course, lots of famous people are buried there. Wander the grounds and you'll find the graves of writers, artists and plenty of esteemed professors from Vilnius University. The place to be seen, forever.

No shortage of heavily carved, appropriately titled, head stones.
