Campo Santo Cemetery in Pisa: photos, reviews

About

Once upon a time, the powerful of the world were buried here, adorning the tombs with marble sculptures. The "tradition" continues, and centuries later, luxurious tombstones and burial wreaths still appear, surrounded by the stone arcades of the courtyard.

The Campo Santo Cemetery is executed in Gothic style and complemented by frescoes depicting the Last Judgment, hell, and the eternal triumph of death. By the way, most of the frescoes are the work of Renaissance masters, as well as more modern artists. Tourists often wander into the quiet "backwaters" of Campo Santo, pausing in awe at the imaginative depictions of the afterlife.

all'interno del complesso è il luogo che mi ha impressionato di più. Camminerete letteralmente su centinaia di lapidi di marmo e gli affreschi attorno hanno un forte impatto visivo, specialmente quelli sul giudizio universale.

Il Camposanto monumentale, noto anche come Camposanto vecchio o Campo Santo, è un cimitero storico monumentale di Pisa, che chiude il lato nord di piazza del Duomo. Il cimitero fu iniziato nel 1277 da Giovanni di Simone, come ricorda l'iscrizione latina posta al lato del portale destro, anche se alcuni fanno il nome di Giovanni di Nicola, come ultimo degli edifici monumentali della piazza.

My opinion....best historical piece in Pisa and it is a cemetary of famous Pisans. You are literally walking over marble graves. A huge building where you can admire amazing and huge frescoes on all walls. Mine best was the devil's where you can admire influence of Dante's Inferno and final judgment. All over the Camposanto are information panels explaining the frescoes. While visiting, we had the chance to see how the frescoes are being restored.
