I liked it very much. I never imagined that in a cemetery I would be able to admire so many works of art. Such a soothing place, huge and full of history, is worth a visit. There is even a map for visiting the famous tombs.

Great architecture that has to be seen!

I don't know why I liked this place so much, but it was very peaceful to walk around the cemetery looking at all the amazing graves and monuments. It felt almost like an art gallery more than a cemetery. Worth a visit when you are in Milan.

The Monumental Cemetery in Milan is like an open air museum. The art with which the mausoleums and the sculptures that accompany them were built is soothed by their beauty. I visited this cemetery one summer day. The cemetery closed at 17.00, but I had not read the program at the entrance, so the sun was still high in the sky, I did not realize that I could be closed there. But the program was a program and had to be respected and probably no one detected my presence there, so I remained locked between the graves. Of course, I managed to jump the fence and leave, but I had already made a plan how to stay there.

Truly magnificent place. The resting place of numerous famous people, and home to an incredible collection of unique sculptures. The Jewish section is particularly beautiful, and underappreciated. Be quiet and considerate when visiting. This is not a playground, please show the appropriate respect.

What a magnificent place - definitely one of the most interesting ones in Milan. The statues and the atmosphere of the place are chilling. The only bad thing was that it seemed to me there were cars everywhere, but I get it's probably necessary for the cemetery to function. Again, it's a must see! Free entry.

Exemplary graveyard architecture. Take a walk here to get rid of your spirits and embrace the funeral atmosphere.

A truly wonderful place that is 30 minutes north of Duomo Cathedral and is a pleasant escape from the busy city centre. Filled with stunning religious tombs, monuments and mausoleums, you can spend hours walking through the cemetery. I really recommend this place if you are visiting Milan and remember to bring water when the weather is hot. Plenty of shaded areas too which is nice.

Single-handedly the best cemetery I’ve been to in the world. Unique statues, huge tombs, photos on the gravestones in Italian tradition. Everything feels colossal!

An amazing cemetery. Stunning monuments and tombs, visit also the tunnels with the indoor plaques. There is also a Jewish section , however it was closed.

Second most beautiful cemetery complex in Italy. Unbelievable sculptures, size and atmosphere. Speechless it’s an art museum more than cemetery. Multiple wonderful stones , what a beautiful resting place.

Impressive to see how cemetery can be full of art and if I may say 'life'. I didn't expect to like it but it was very artistic and expressive. Very unique place and a must visit when in Milan.

The Monumental Cemetery is more than just a cemetery. It's a museum of sorts, filled with stunning sculptures and tombs of famous Italians. It's a place where art and history come a Together must visit !!.

Fantastic cemetery, free entry to the grounds. A must visit for anyone who has an interest in the beautiful tombs, crypts etc. Lovely landscaping with beautiful pine trees. Please respect the silence and wear appropriate clothing.

A quiet and nice spot in the city. A must see.

I never knew I would be interested in visiting a place like cemetery in Milan. It's richly laid with beautiful sculpture and way it has been maintained so well even after decades took me by surprise. We were shown in a small guided tour, how they are working on maintaining the sculptures.Do attend if you have time. Also check out the literature they have at their office desk. Would surely recommend. Keep 3-4 hours in hand to visit this entire place.

STUNNING FREE PLACE to VISIT in MILAN. BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, FULL of HISTORY and ART. MUST TO GO PLACE.

Amazingggg

Magnificent old cemetery, tombs of almost 200 years ago, some of them are remarkable. A quiet place to visit and relax from the city.

It's a very interesting landmark in Milano and it's really worth a visit. The most surprising is the crematory as they left the doors open for the visitors. If you want to escape the crowded places and to enjoy some unique sculptures, check this place out!

A different type of tourism haha. The place is so nice to visit, it is a open museum and a good to way to make people’s memories alive. Sometimes you feel like you are in a little city, almost like a condo, where people dispute who created the best building. You can spend hours and hours there, it got me surprised and amazed how death can be interpreted in tombs.

A new cemetery designed in 1862 and the final home for a number of famous people. However they are not alone. Free to visit with plenty of shade.

(Translated by Google) Lots of valuable sculptures. It would be worth visiting. !!!!! (Original) Tantissime sculture di pregio. Sarebbe da visitare.!!!!!

Did not initially plan to visit the cemetery because it wasn’t a suggested sight to see but wow it’s impressive. It’s huge and makes for a good walk. So much family history, it’s a must see if you’re visiting Milan.

Visited this site September 2022. Visited the cemetery only after a fantastic tour--English Free Tour Milan sponsored by CITYWALKERS--with Marco, who brought this to our tour group's attention. His recommendation was, "If you really like architecture and sculpture...." and I knew I was adding a visit to my priorities. I spent the entire afternoon walking around, up and down rows and rows of mausoleums and monuments that were utterly stunning and beautiful. One can run around and test one's own knowledge of architectural periods, from Classical to Byzantine to Gothic to Baroque, etc. I highly recommend a visit for lovers of sculpture and architecture geeks. Make a visit to Cimitero Monumentale as high a priority as a visit to the Duomo.

With full respect to the souls reset at this place, it is really does not look like a cemetery. You feel that you are walking in a museum full of art and prefect touch. Some of the monuments reflect sad story while others are showing the joy beyond our life. It is amazing how the artists translated the life of several people resting in the cemetery. Highly recommended.

This was such a magical and unusual place! The buildings themselves are stunning, and you can find very known people buried here. What is more interested to do is to walk around the stunning pieces of art you can find everywhere, I will definitely go again to see it more

This place is the answer to "why should I visit a cemetery?". The Monumental Cemetery is famous for having many artistic tombs and monuments of the most important families in Milan, both historical and recent. Here illustrious names are buried in artistically important crypts. It is certainly among the top 3 things to see in Milan, dedicate an afternoon to it.

Cimitero Monumentale di Milano is visually stunning - a very beautiful and peaceful place that you can easily get lost in, trawling around for hours and enjoying its beauty. There's something wonderful to look at around every corner - and there's also free public bathrooms on site!

One of the most interesting and mesmerising places I’ve ever been to. A fascinating and srtiking place full of scuptures on top of tombs of important figures in Italian history. Each of them present pain, grief, sorrow, fear, love, sadness, mistery in its own way. We visited during the day, can’t even imagine being in here in the dark. This is a basically an open-air-museum with free entrance (didn’t get guided tour etc) which is a must-see in Milan. I would consider visiting again if I go to Milan again.

Unbelievable atmosphere, calmness and countless works of art that made my chin drop. If you are planning a trip to Milan, skip one shopping mall and devote at least two hours to this place.

Interesting experience, same vibes as the vampire diaries. you can see different shapes of graves, place of cremation where ashes are kept. It's large, we spent an hour in there.

I stumbled upon this cemetery on my way to go shopping and I'm so glad I stopped. It's the most beautiful cemetery I've ever seen (though keep in mind, I'm American so the cemeteries I'm used to are not that impressive) and it's hard to express just how large the property is. There are so many beautiful monuments that it would take hours to see them all. It's very peaceful in the cemetery, so this is the perfect place to visit if you want to look at art and get away from the crowds. I found this description on one of the maps: "The scultures and buildings of the Monumental Cemetery allow us to experience the major events of the city's past, its artistic journey from realism and eclecticism of the late 19th century, through to art nouveau and symbolism of the early 20th century, and then on to the contemporary age, as if it were a real open air museum featuring all the major Italian artists." Hidden gem in Milan, and a must-visit. Highly recommend, especially since it's free!

The cemetery is really really cool. A great place to spend some time wandering in the shade of the tombs and trees. Really interesting mausoleums and gravestones. Honestly please go. However, beware: it closes at 18.00 and it really really closes at 18.00 and it doesn't care if you're still inside. We arrived at the gate at 18.02 and the gate was closed and everyone was gone. We had to call the emergency number (they only spoke Italian) and then eventually some guy came to open the gate for us. We were stuck with 5 people, so this seems to happen a lot. They do play an alarm to let you know they are closing, but we didn't know that that was what that meant. Really awesome visit though.

(Translated by Google) It was time to take a closer look at the various tombs and their appearances. Although the old tombs existed, it was a beneficial time to see the godliness in them and the lives of them. (Original) 여러 묘와 그 묘에 대한 여러 모습들을 자세히 들여다 볼 수 있는 시간이었다. 오래된 묘들이 존재했지만 그 안에서의 경건함과 그분들에 생애들을 볼 수 있었던 유익한 시간 이었다.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place. It's a cemetery, but you won't know you're in the cemetery. For a moment I thought I was walking around the art gallery. It goes without saying that there are amazing sculptures, most of them are religious depictions. If you look carefully, you can see that the artists tell many things from their symbols. If you are fond of plastic arts, it is definitely a place to see. Do not forget to pray to the dead or wish them to be at peace. (Original) Çok güzel bir yer. Mezarlık fakat mezarlık ta olduğunuzu anlamazsınız sanki. Sanat galerisinde geziyorum sandım bir an. Müthiş heykeller var çoğunun dini tasvir olduğunu söylemeye gerek yok. Dikkatli bakarsanız sembollerinden sanatçıların bir çok şeyi anlatigini görebilirsiniz. Plastik sanatlardan hoşlanıyorsaniz kesinlikle görmeniz gereken bir yer. Ölülere dua okumayı yada huzurlu olmalarını dilemeyi unutmayın.

(Translated by Google) The guided tour of the Monumental is interesting and pleasant. In times of pandemic where museums are closed, there are real works of art here. Not only therefore tombs of the illustrious Milanese and non-Milanese personalities who have given prestige to the city. Convenient to reach with the MM, access is also allowed to our pets. Different and recommended experience (Original) Interessante e piacevole la visita guidata al Monumentale. In tempi di pandemia dove i musei restano chiusi, qui ci sono vere e proprie opere d'arte. Non solo quindi tombe degli illustri personaggi milanesi e non che hanno dato lustro alla città. Comodo da raggiungere con la MM , l'accesso è consentito anche ai nostri pets. Esperienza diversa e consigliata

Amazing place with some great mausoleums. Not like classic cemetery environment. A must see in Milan with lots of famous person's of history.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular. Worth spending a few hours to collect it quiet. (Original) Espectacular. Digno de dedicarle unas cuantas horas para recogerlo tranquilo.

Each gravestone and tomb is more amazing than the other. Must visit spot. So many monuments in one place.

You must visit this place if you are in Milan. Wonderful architecture, intresting monuments. It was one of the most intresting places in Milan.

They didn't ask for any tickets or something. But, it is worth visiting because of the historical monuments and graves ( also of Alessandro Manzoni)

The cemetery is very spacious and contains the resting places of important figures. Each grave area has its own unique gallery of sculptures, both big and small, that create a truly remarkable visual experience. I had the opportunity to visit on a rainy morning, and the combination of the wet soil scent and the atmosphere of death provided an unforgettable experience. Some of the sculptures are truly astonishing and leave a lasting impression. Additional information: I went there two days in a row searching for the ashes of Umberto Eco. Unfortunately, although his ashes were cremated, there is no monument dedicated to him, so visitors cannot see his ashes. I asked the security and other visitors all day, but unfortunately, nobody seemed to be aware. If you don't know the exact location, it can be quite difficult to find a name among dozens of other monuments.

(Translated by Google) Main cemetery of Milan, recommended the recommended route at the entrance. (Original) Cimitero principale di Milano, consigliato il percorso consigliato all'ingresso.

Must see when in Milan! Such a unique place with sculptures and tombs enough for several hours walk. Just amazing, definitely worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) An open-air museum. Since my father brought me the first time in 1986, it is always fascinating to visit us. It relaxes me to walk among those stupendous tombstones, beautiful sculptures, tombs of prestigious and lesser-known families. What about the Famedio: without words. There are also many beautiful sections of the Jewish and non-Catholic cemetery. My favorite season for a visit is autumn: with all those beautiful colored leaves that gives an extraordinary charm to this beautiful cemetery. (Original) Un museo a cielo aperto. Da quando mi portò mio padre la prima volta nel 1986, é sempre affascinante farci una visita. Mi rilassa camminare tra quelle stupende lapidi, bellissime sculture, tombe di prestigiose famiglie e meno conosciute. Che dire poi del Famedio: senza parole. Molte belle anche le sezioni del cimitero ebraico, e di quello acattolico. La stagione che preferisco per una visita é l'autunno: con tutte quelle belle foglie colorate che dona un fascino straordinario a questo bellissimo cimitero.

(Translated by Google) A place undoubtedly rich in history the one that rises north of Milan. I discovered it in somewhat particular circumstances. I arrived in that area because, alas, an important person died and I contacted the La Simonetta Funeral Home. Walking towards the goal I saw this immense structure, later discovered as the Monumental Cemetery, full of statues and marbles. It would be interesting to take a guided tour. (Original) Un luogo indubbiamente ricco di storia quello che sorge a Nord di Milano. L’ho scoperto in circostanze un po’ particolari. Sono arrivato in quella zona perché, ahimè, è deceduta una persona importante e mi sono rivolto alle Onoranze Funebri La Simonetta. Camminando verso la meta ho visto questa immensa struttura, scoperta poi come Cimitero Monumentale, colma di statue e marmi. Sarebbe interessante fare una visita guidata.

my favourite place to be in milan

(Translated by Google) Very large, well-kept, clean and well structured cemetery. Ideal for a quiet walk. Some tombs are really impressive, as well as very beautiful. Absolutely recommended to visit. (Original) Cimitero molto vasto, curato, pulito e ben strutturato. Ideale per una passeggiata tranquilla. Alcune tombe sono veramente imponenti, oltre che molto belle. Assolutamente consigliato da visitare.

Very beautiful place for long walks

Very impressive cemetery featuring grandiose tombs and mausoleums. My favourites were the simple graves decorated solely with plants; to me, being remembered for how much you loved nature is more important than how large and statuesque a grave you can afford.

(Translated by Google) Place of divine beauty (Original) Luogo di divina belezza

WOW! what an underrated place, it should be in top 5 list to see in Milan, such a special feeling walking around it, so many beautiful pieces of workmanship 🙏 first time visiting anything like this and could have spent all day here, it's so big, you need plenty of time, pictures don't do it justice

(Translated by Google) An impressive cemetery, with highly sought after graves and structures. There are many famous names. (Original) Un cimitero impressionante, con delle tombe e strutture molto ricercate. Sono presenti molti nomi famosi.

Beautiful graveyard. It is absolutely not seedy like a common graveyard. Graves are impressive, as they are enormous

(Translated by Google) A must for those visiting the city, a quiet corner full of important burials. Many visible works of art. The info point offers a plan with two paths that facilitate the visitor allows sheets to choose between a complete path and a shorter one. To visit the Famedio. On the opposite side, the first crematorium temple installed in Italy, a gift from a citizen. (Original) Una tappa obbligata per chi visita la città, un angolo di quiete ricco di importanti sepolture. Molte le opere d'arte visibili. L'info point offre una pianta con due percorsi che agevolano il visitatore permette fogli di scegliere tra un percorso completo ed uno più breve. Da visitare il Famedio. Sul lato opposto il primo tempio crematorio installato in Italia, dono di un cittadino.

(Translated by Google) Really recommended, there are a huge amount of sculptures. If you pass through Milan this place is a must. (Original) Realmente recomendado, hay una cantidad enorme de esculturas. Si pasas por Milan este lugar es imprescindible.

It is one of amazing places of Milan. I think everybody should visit. Many art pieces in same area even it does not have an entrance fee which is hard to believe in Italy. I really like this place.

You could easily spend a day here, definitely worth a visit. Be sure to Google the famous people that are here. It's breath taking and a very interesting walk.

This cemetery is amazing, I would recommend a visit, the tombs and mausoleums are really "monumental"

Beautiful and peaceful place! It represents a great civilization!

A tranquil cemetery with hundreds of unique tombstones and familial catacombs. Makes you stop for a while and consider your own mortality.

(Translated by Google) It is definitely worth a look. (Original) Určitě stojí za to se tam podívat.

(Translated by Google) Very particular and suggestive cemetery. The Crematorium Temple, now abandoned, is fascinating. It was inaugurated on January 22, 1876 to cremate the body of the silken industrialist philanthropist Alberto Keller who also donated a large sum for the construction of this Temple which his heirs subsequently donated to the City of Milan, in fact the inscription on the architrave reads : CREMATORY TEMPLE BY THE WILL OF THE NOBLE ALBERTO KELLER ERECTED AND DONATED TO THE CITY OF MILAN. Very interesting is the Cremation room which houses four very old crematory ovens built in 1896. As a very convinced cremationist of nineteen I recommend you to visit the Cemetery which deserves a lot and above all to pay particular attention to the Crematorium Temple, the first in the world! (Original) Cimitero molto particolare e suggestivo. Affascinante il Tempio Crematorio, ormai dismesso. È stato inaugurato il 22 Gennaio 1876 per cremare la salma dell’industriale serico filantropo Alberto Keller che donò anche una cospicua somma per la costruzione di questo Tempio che successivamente i suoi eredi donarono alla Città di Milano, infatti l’iscrizione posta sull’architrave recita: TEMPIO CREMATORIO PER VOLONTÀ DEL NOBILE ALBERTO KELLER ERETTO E DONATO ALLA CITTÀ DI MILANO. Molto interessante è la sala di Cremazione che ospita quattro forni crematori molto antichi costruiti nel 1896. Da cremazionista convintissima di diciannove anni vi consiglio di visitare il Cimitero che merita moltissimo e soprattutto di prestare particolare attenzione al Tempio Crematorio, il primo al Mondo!

(Translated by Google) One of the cemeteries of Milan. the Monumental project belongs to the architect Carlo Maciachini (1818-1899), built starting from 1864 in an eclectic style with Byzantine, Gothic and Romanesque references Since then the Monumental has gradually been enriched with a large number of classical and contemporary funerary art works, such as Greek temples, elaborate obelisks and other original works, including the reduced version of the Trajan's Column. For the very high artistic value of sculptures, tombs, funeral shrines and other works inside, it preserves real works of art in the open air !! In the most heartfelt and respectful silence, it is worth going to visit it.

Nice place to visit. Not very attractive for kids. Has some historical info to it.

Words cannot describe how this cemetery makes me feel. I wish I had planned a whole day for this place.

I visited the Cimitero Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery) early in the morning when they opened up and spent three hours roaming the grounds before heading over to the Basilica of St. Ambrose. I post a selection of my favorites, especially of some of the deliciously callipygous statues.

Unusual place with unusual monumental sculpture. Very big area. A place to discover. Real artworks.

(Translated by Google) Must visit .... really spectacular. The Jewish cemetery is special. (Original) Visita obligada.... realmente espectacular. El cementerio judio es especial.

(Translated by Google) It is unrealistic to describe or tell it. The gravestones are very diverse. Almost every piece. It will take more than one hour to see everything. Trying to find world famous and famous surnames is useless, they are not here. But even with this, the design of the graves is simply outrageous. (Original) Описывать или рассказывать это нереально. Надгробия самые разнообразные. Каждое почти произведение. Всё посмотреть займет не один час. Пытаться найти всемирно известные и знаменитые фамилии бесполезно, их тут нет.

I've never been in such a cemetery before. So many stories are told in the incredible sculptures, chapels, and other structures - grief, love, hope, regret, despair, peace, family, faith intermingled everywhere you look. You could spend days in there and not see it all. The architecture of the main structure is pretty amazing, too. We just wandered around and enjoyed the beauty and silence of the gardens. Gorgeous trees everywhere.

(Translated by Google) Special. It is a cemetery with incredible graves. (Original) Especial. Es un cementerio con tumbas increíbles.

(Translated by Google) A piece of Milan. At least to see the outside (Original) Un pezzo di milano. Da vedere almeno l'esterno

Wonderful! The sculptures can be admired for hours, and you can walk for hours.
