Porta Garibaldi, Milan

"An open-air museum so vast you can easily get lost—a great place to explore Milan's history through the incredible funerary monuments of the families and figures who shaped the city."
Why visit a cemetery on vacation? Because Milan’s Monumental Cemetery is an open-air museum. Established in 1866, this cemetery features impressive tombs dedicated to renowned Italian artists, writers, scientists, and politicians. A stroll through its pathways reveals stunning sculptures and mosaics, offering a glimpse into Italian artistic styles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While steeped in history, the cemetery also includes modern designs, and many families continue to maintain the gravesites today.
