About this cemetery
The Fontanelle Cemetery in Naples is a former charnel house and ossuary that extends over more than 3,000 square metres. It is set in a cave in the tuff hillside in the Materdei and Sanità area of the city and holds the remains of an unspecified number of people. The site is no longer used as a working cemetery, and the City of Naples has presented it as a restored landmark.
