Incredibly eerie and spooky cemetery, large cave with an incredible amount of skulls & bones, a must see if you’re in Naples, Located in the Materdei section, Fontanelle cemetery contains the remains of some 40,000 persons, many victims of WWII and the plague, it’s free to enter, with a donations box. Can’t recommend it enough, real eye opener 🙌🏼
Very interesting cemetery. Free entrance and the man at the entrance loves to give a little speech about the place. (Also free, but you can give him a tip.)
Marvellous place with great mystic skeleton graves. The light is playing enormous role in the cemetery visual and emotional perception. The history behind it is sad, however it is worth visiting when you are staying in Naples, you won't be disappointed.
apparently still closed. we really wanted to visit here!
Scary but the most amazing grave site I have ever seen. Totally free and well worth seeing. You havent seen anything like this before
It's breathtaking and numbing to see the continuous row after row of human remains that have been collected here over the past centuries. It's not just from the black plague but also the bodies taken from Naples' catacombs of San Gennaro. Definitely combine this with a tour from the catacombs (you can easily get to this Cimetro Delle Fontanelle from the end of that tour) to understand and feel the history of these two historical locations.
A great historical place for visiting while in Naples. Full of history and you can feel the religious aspect of it. Free of charge but you have to find it first and not get lost in all those similar streets here in Naples.
Amazing place. I find it more interesting than the big catacumb in Paris
