Cimetiere Milan
Cimetiere Milan
Amazing cemetery in Milan!! Milan's wealthy families seemed to try and top each other by building large tombs often decorated with plenty of sculptures of angels, putti, sphinx or other figures. All kind of architectural styles were used, from Egyptian, neo-Roman and Byzantine over neo-Gothic to more modern styles such as Art Nouveau, modernist and even post-modern. 

The sheer number of different works of art by often highly acclaimed artists resulted in an interesting open air museum, where visitors are easily overwhelmed by the large number of monumental mausoleums and sculptures. Fortunately placards installed on the grounds of the cemetery that show an overview of the most spectacular and most famous graves.

If you are visiting Milan and you want to take a break from all the touristy things that other people are doing (like the Duomo) you have to come to the Cimitero Monumentale for a few hours.

Many of the monuments are for artists and architects and so are very well designed and ornate and beautiful. They are truly works of art that make you wonder about the history behind each headstone.
