The Paco Park in Manila was originally built as a cemetery, started in 1807 during Spanish colonial times.
The cemetery was designed as a circle, surrounded by thick adobe walls, the top of which have become pathways for promenades.
It features a chapel, itself round in design.
Today it is a public park and a popular venue for weddings.

Your first photo is a real attention-grabber. The POV of the round fountain makes me want to take in the view of the entire grounds for context. Nice work.
