The Camposanto Monumentale is a monumental cemetery in Pisa, situated on Piazza dei Miracoli, the same square that's home to the Leaning Tower, Pisa Cathedral and the Pisa Baptistery.
Established in the 12th century, its name translates as "Holy Field" and this is partly in reference to the fact that the soil it was built on was shipped across from Golgotha, just outside Jerusalem. |
