Certosa of Ferrara, Monumental cemetery and church complex in Ferrara, Italy.
The Certosa of Ferrara includes multiple burial sections, decorated chapels, artistic monuments, and a church building spread across extensive grounds.
Duke Ercole I d'Este established the Carthusian monastery in 1401, which transformed into a public cemetery following religious orders' suppression in 1804.
The cemetery contains numerous artistic tombs and monuments representing different architectural styles from the Renaissance through the modern period.
Visitors can access the cemetery grounds and church during daylight hours, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.
The site preserves a collection of liturgical miniatures within its graduals and antiphonaries, documenting centuries of religious artistic practices.
