The Milan Memorial Cemetery is a very large cemetery designed by architect Carlo and is known for its artistic tombs and numerous fine sculptures. The cemetery was opened to the public in 1866, and the architectural carvings in the cemetery bring together the achievements of many Italian contemporary and classical sculptors. The main entrance of the cemetery is a hall of fame, a neo-medieval style marble building, where many Italian celebrities are buried, such as the famous Italian composer Verdi. If you want to visit here, be sure to pay attention to the opening hours.

If you are bored with visiting all churches, this is a great choice. At the entrance you can see a map guiding you to the "bright spot", but the other statues are equally interesting. It feels scary sometimes and I can imagine you visiting alone. I suggest you choose those that interest you. We didn't miss the 13th Last Supper, come by train and get off at the memorial.
Milan's huge cemetery is a collection of Roman Empire and Gothic architecture, and amazing sculptures make it look like a great museum. Back in 1866, there are many famous French people and non-Catholic and Jewish sections, which are very close to Chinatown.
I don't know if I don't see it, I can't forget it. I went to see it in September 2016, and the sculptures with their characteristics were very beautiful. I watched it for more than 4 hours alone and took more than 350 photos with the tablet. Send it to the elementary school students at night, praise. Some people say that La Xuez Cemetery in Paris is also fine. This time I went to Paris to see it specially, I was disappointed. The sculpture is not as good as the Milan Memorial Cemetery 10[%] hope to have time to Milan's relatives to enjoy. If necessary, find the Chinese to translate the instructions in front of the tombstone.
The cemetery of Milan Memorial Cemetery does not seem to be cleaned there by many people. It feels that there are a lot of debris there, and it is very special that there are many sculptures here, and you can see some not far away.
