Campo Santo Teutonico, Historic cemetery near St Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.
The Teutonic Cemetery occupies a space between St Peter's Basilica and Paul VI Audience Hall, featuring stone headstones and mosaic stations of the cross.
Pope Leo IV granted this land to Charlemagne in 799 for establishing a school and hospice, marking the beginning of German presence in Rome.
The cemetery remains the final resting place for German-speaking individuals, including members of religious orders, scholars, and members of the Archconfraternity.
The cemetery opens daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM without admission fees, providing access to visitors interested in exploring its grounds.
The cemetery contains soil from Jerusalem, connecting it to early Christian martyrs who died in Nero's circus that once occupied this location.
