Reviewed By Olex_KL - Kuala Selangor, Malaysia

Totally worth spending an hour to learn about the Timorese struggle for independence. Very well arranged, although more English language explanatory notes would be helpful. Tickets available at the gate at USD1.00. No photography inside allowed

Cemetery of Santa Cruz

Reviewed By peterlT2126TH - Darwin, Australia

Over 230 young people were massacred by Indonesian Militia near here, those that were left injured were taken to the hospital where the Indonesians murdered those as well. Reviewing the names and ages of those buried here made my skin crawl, such a senseless waste.
