Do you like visiting cemeteries? Normally, cemeteries aren't on my list of places to visit, yet Milan's Monumental Cemetery breaks the mold, transforming a burial site into a spectacular open-air art museum. The Monumental Cemetery, an admission-free gem in Milan, was a serendipitous find I'm thankful for not overlooking. This no-cost experience was unexpectedly enriching.

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!

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.

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.
