Some of the tombs and statues on display are stunning. Very peaceful and calm. The main entrance to it is a sight to behold in itself.

Given how busy and frantic Milan can be this is a perfect place to spend a few hours in the sunshine. Very different to grave yards in the UK, this is more like a town of mausoleums, each competing with the next in terms of grandeur. It's a very tranquil place and even though they were up digging the road... More

If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I'd have laughed at someone trying to tell me about it.

This was our final bit of sight-seeing in Italy. After three weeks of ancient ruins, Renaissance museums and huge cathedrals, we were looking for something different.

The headstones are amazing and each... More

It was convenient for us, as it was across the street from the Marriott. But worth a trip via tram or Metro! It really easy to spend several hours there.....looking at the sculptures and art, admiring the photos, wondering what the stories are......truly something unique and special to see.
