New Orleans - Garden of the Americas

Between Rampart Street and Basin Street, which marks the north-western boundary of the Vieux Carre, is the Garden of the Americas, with monuments commemorating the freedom fighters Benito Juarez Gracia, Simon Bolivar and Francisco Morazan. Close by are the church of Our Lady of Guadeloupe and the Old St Louis Cemetery, with numbers of handsome monuments, including that of the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. The cemetery should only be visited as part of a guided tour as this is not the safest of districts.
