Sunken Cemetery

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:55:24

Between the hillside and Bonbon you’ll see an enormous white cross floating on a pontoon in the bay, marking the spot of the Sunken Cemetery, which slipped into the sea following the earthquake of 1871; it’s a popular snorkelling and diving spot.

The same earthquake destroyed the 17th-century Spanish church in Bonbon; its quiet ruins still stand, with grazing cattle nearby and a makeshift altar inside.
