Campo Santo, Protected Catholic cemetery on Sint-Amandsberg hill, Ghent, Belgium.
The Campo Santo cemetery stands on a natural hill reaching 19 meters high, featuring 131 preserved tombs and mausoleums near Saint Amand's Chapel.
The burial ground opened in December 1847 under Fr Jozef van Damme and became the preferred resting place for Ghent's Catholic upper class.
The cemetery contains graves of notable figures including art curator Jan Hoet, singer Luc De Vos, and works by sculptors Jozef Geefs and Geo Verbanck.
The cemetery operates from 7:00 to 20:00 during summer months and 8:00 to 17:30 in winter, with guided tours available for groups of 20 people.
The cemetery includes seventy restored monumental tombstones displaying various architectural styles, representing the social status of Ghent's traditional Catholic bourgeoisie.
