Review:
Built in 1278, Camposanto Monumentale, or Holy Field, is Pisa’s Monumental Cemetery commissioned by Archibishop Federico Visconti. It’s among the oldest Christian medieval structures dedicated to the dead, and is the resting place of early upper-class Pisans. Built around a central quadrant, the inner walls were once adorned with frescoes depicting Life and Death. Many frescoes have been restored and are displayed in the north gallery. The Triumph of Death frescoe was fully restored and returned to its original location in 2018. Sepulchers in Camposanto Monumentale honor local families and the city’s Medieval past. Corridors, turned galleries, established a museum of archaeological objects.
