Structures with Walls that Aren't Falling

I went on a little tour of the 'Protestant' Cemetery today down by the Pyramid/Tomb of Cestius and under the shade of the Aurelian Walls. Here is a picture of the Pyramid, which supposedly took around 330 days to build, if I'm remembering correctly.


For all you Late Antique/Early and Medieval Christian Art and Architecture types, here is a picture of the grave of Richard Krautheimer, a civis Romanus.

And for all you Bryn Mawr types, here is a picture of the grave of Charles Densmore Curtis.


UPDATE: I also have some non-classical photos from the cemetery here.
