Monaco Cemetery

Monaco Cemetery, Cemetery in La Colle, Monaco.

Monaco Cemetery is a two-hectare terraced burial ground in La Colle, the principality's only cemetery, with about six thousand graves holding some twenty-three thousand deceased. Most monuments are white, in the tradition of Riviera cemeteries. Many sculptures were made by Umberto Bassignani.

The cemetery was established in 1868 and later became the resting place for two British soldiers from World War I. Over time it grew into a site reflecting Monaco's history and its international connections.

The cemetery holds Josephine Baker, her fourth husband Jo Bouillon, Léo Ferré, Anthony Burgess, Roger Moore and Princess Ashraf Pahlavi, twin sister of the last Shah of Iran. Two Commonwealth War Graves mark British soldiers of the First World War, Private A. C. V. Dyer and Captain Leo Lucas Ralli. Many sculptures were made by Umberto Bassignani.

The grounds are open to visitors during different seasons, with extended hours in summer and shorter hours in winter. Computer screens positioned near the entrance help locate specific graves and navigate the different levels of the cemetery.

A memorial stone was dedicated in 2015 to honor foreign Jewish guests taken from Monegasque hotels in 1942 during Nazi occupation. This monument preserves a less-known chapter of the region's wartime history.
