Five tiers of interior cast iron balconies rise dramatically to a skylight high above the floor. The city s oldest cemetery is most famous as the burial place of Edgar Allan Poe, who died mysteriously in Baltimore at the age of 40. Visitors are generally intrigued by his grave, where a ghostly black raven embellishes the tombstone. Each year, a mysterious phantom creeps in on the anniversary of Poe s death and leaves flowers and cognac. Other tombs hold the remains of generals from the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
Cemetery is open daily till dusk.
