About this cemetery
The Certosa di Bologna was originally a Carthusian monastery founded in 1334. It was turned into the city's monumental cemetery in 1801, reusing the monastery's structures. Covering about 30 hectares, it is described as one of the oldest and largest cemeteries in Europe, with a notable collection of neoclassical and nineteenth-century art, illustrious tombs and archaeological excavations.
