Old Ruins to Explore in Lombardy

Monumental Cemetery

The Cimitero Monumentale is one of the two largest cemeteries in Milan, Italy, the other one being the Cimitero Maggiore. It is noted for the abundance of artistic tombs and monuments. The site allows visitors to time-travel into the history of Milan, as they can spot the tombs of figures whose names now adorn major metro stations, roads, and squares. During the following years, neoclassical arcades and buildings inspired by Hellenistic architecture were added to this area.

Piazza del Duomo Milan

Piazza del Duomo is the main square of Milan, its real geometric center and commercial for over seven centuries. It is the vital center of the city, a meeting point for the Milanese to celebrate important events and, together with the adjacent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, an iconic place par excellence of the metropolis and a destination for visitors and tourists from all over the world.

Vittoriale degli italiani

The Vittoriale degli Italiani is a complex of buildings, streets, squares, an open-air theater, gardens, and waterways built between 1921 and 1938 in Gardone Riviera, on the Brescia side of Lake Garda, by Gabriele D'Annunzio designed by the architect Giancarlo Maroni, in memory of the "inimitable life" of the poet-soldier and the exploits of the Italians during the First World War. Often, by synecdoche, this name refers only to the house of d'Annunzio, located inside the complex.
