The Certosa di Bologna is one of Europe's grandest monumental cemeteries, established in 1801 within a Carthusian monastery founded in 1334. Its vast network of vaulted arcades, cloisters, and courtyards forms an open-air museum of neoclassical and Romantic sculpture that captivated Lord Byron and Charles Dickens.
