Monumental cemetery of Verona, Neoclassical cemetery in Verona, Italy
The monumental cemetery of Verona is a neoclassical burial ground in the city that stretches along the Adige River near one of the main gates. The site contains graves and monuments from different Veronese families arranged in organized sections with walking paths and green areas.
The cemetery was established following a Napoleonic order that required burials to take place outside the city walls. A local architect designed the grounds in the first half of the 1800s, and it soon became the main burial place for Veronese residents.
The graves display different architectural styles from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s, including neoclassical and Art Nouveau elements. Visitors can see how wealthy families honored their deceased relatives through elaborate monuments and sculptures.
The cemetery is accessible to visitors year-round, with opening hours that change depending on the season. Multiple entrances lead onto the grounds, and you can walk freely through the paths.
The cemetery is the resting place of several famous artists and writers connected to Verona and the surrounding region. Their tombs and monuments stand as reminders of the city's artistic and literary past.
