Visit Milan's Monumental Cemetery

Visiting a cemetery is not usually perceived of as a typical tourist activity unless it's the final resting place of a famous celebrity, but like the cemetery in Prague's Jewish Quarter, or Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery, Milan Monumentalale Cemetery (or Cimitero Monumentale in Italian) is an exception to the rule. The cemetery is, in fact, the second most visited place in the city after the Duomo. While the cemetery is important as the resting place of thousands of past Milanese residents, both noble and common, it is also a collection of beautiful sculptures, fascinating architecture, and famous graves, including that of the great Italian poet, Manzoni. Set just a short distance from the heart of the city, this grand oasis of peace and silence is a truly important place both for locals and tourists to visit.
