Monumental Cemetery (Cimitero Monumentale di Milano)

Milan is renown for many things, including being the second most populous city in Italy; a hub for fashion and art, and the capital of Lombardy. With historic structures like Sforza Castle, the Milan Cathedral (the duomo), the La Scala Opera House, Santa Maria delle Grazie church (the location of the Last Supper), visitors have a plethora of things to see and experience within the confines of the city. Out of the entire sprawling city of Milan, however, there is one location that provides a unique intersection of art, history, and death. That location is the Monumental Cemetery, which is located near the city’s core district (where the duomo and other sights are located).
