In this way the niches sank tens of meters to the rocks on the shore and many coffins reached the sea.
A team of firefighters has already begun work to secure the site and recover the graves, which need to be identified.
Those in charge of sounding the alarm were the employees who rebuilt some pantheons and who participated in the collapse of a part of the cemetery live, recording it with their mobile phones.
