Literally "Holy Field", this peaceful cemetery holds the sacred soil from Golgotha. Built in the 13th century, it served as a burial place for wealthy Pisans. It is enveloped by beautiful arcades with many frescoes. Enjoy a tranquil stroll and marvel at imposing funerary monuments, historical sarcophagi, and majestic sculptures.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Camposanto, also known as the Monumental Cemetery, is an important historical site in Pisa, Italy. Located next to the famous Leaning Tower, this medieval cemetery offers visitors a peaceful and contemplative experience. The long, rectangular structure features beautiful Gothic architecture and houses an impressive collection of Roman sarcophagi and frescoes.

    Many visitors appreciate the tranquil atmosphere and the opportunity to explore the site without large crowds. The restored frescoes, including the "Triumph of Death," are particularly noteworthy and provide insight into medieval art and religious beliefs. The well-maintained grounds and cloisters add to the overall ambiance.

    However, some visitors have mentioned that the entrance fee can be high, especially if not combined with other attractions in the Square of Miracles. Additionally, the information provided on-site is sometimes considered limited, so bringing a guidebook or joining a tour might enhance the experience.

    While not as famous as its neighboring landmarks, Camposanto offers a rich historical and artistic experience for those interested in medieval history and art. Its quieter nature provides a welcome contrast to the bustling areas around the Leaning Tower and Cathedral.
