Pisa Camposanto | Italy's monumental graveyard

If there’s a sacred place where death and devotion intertwine, it’s at Pisa Camposanto (or Camposanto Monumentale). The last of the buildings was constructed in the Square of Miracles (or Piazza del Duomo) in 1277, and this sacred burial ground is along the northern boundary of the Square. It contains tombs of prominent Pisan personalities, along with frescoes and marble busts. Christians believe that the Camposanto stands for death and the afterlife, completing the cycle-of-life theme of the various monuments in the Square of Miracles.

  • While there's no strict dress code, respectful attire (covering shoulders and knees) is recommended, especially if you plan to enter the Pisa Cathedral.

Highlights of the Pisa Camposanto

The cemetery

The cemetery was originally designed to be a church, and the eastern part of it was completed after the western portion. Several prominent Pisans were buried here, and legend has it that the Golgothan soil has the power to dissolve any body within 24 hours.

The facade

The exterior contains 43 blind arches and two doorways, showcasing the height of Gothic architectural splendor. The right entrance has an exquisite Gothic tabernacle of Virgin Mary and the Infant, surrounded by four saints.

The tombs

Tombs are located beneath the blind arches as well as below the central cloister. Originally, it was also supposed to contain Roman sarcophagi. These have now been moved to the vestry board museum.

The frescoes

The most arresting feature of the Camposanto is perhaps its collection of frescoes. During WW2, the Camposanto was bombed and a fire broke out. This damaged the roof, the sculptures and sarcophagi, and severely compromised the frescoes. Some frescoes were saved and a temporary roof was erected to prevent further destruction. The sinopie, or practice drawings beneath the frescoes were also removed; they are now housed in the Sinopie Museum in the Square of Miracles.

Visitor tips

  • Some sections of the Camposanto may be closed off to the public due to restoration activities.
  • As this is a somber monument, it is important to dress respectfully. Try to adhere to the same dress code as the Pisa Cathedral, so cover your knees and shoulders before entering.
