CIMITERO DI SAN MICHELE
Cemetery of the Venetians since 1804 with a church with a white Istrian stone façade at the entrance.
This cemetery in the open sea is located off Fondamente Nuove. It is a striking place that occupies the entirety of an islet. It is a goal of a walk that is both cultural and religious. Along its cypress paths, you will undoubtedly pass by the graves of Ezra Pound, Serge de Diaghilev and Igor Stravinsky, among others. At the entrance to the site stands the church of San Michele with its white Istrian stone façade. It was built between 1469 and 1478 by Mauro Codussi and was one of the first Renaissance churches in Venice.
