The Camposanto Monumentale in Pisa, Italy, is a historic cemetery known for its Gothic architecture and impressive collection of Roman sarcophagi. Legend has it that the soil brought from Golgotha makes bodies decompose in just 24 hours! The building, originally intended as a church, features stunning frescoes covering over 2600 square meters of walls. Despite a fire during World War II, extensive restoration efforts have preserved this unique site, making it a must-see for visitors exploring Pisa's rich history.
