Flaminio - Prima Porta Cemetery
Flaminio Cemetery (also known as Prima Porta Cemetery) was consecrated in 1941 and is considered as a masterpiece of contemporary cemetery architecture. With its 140 hectares of extension it is the largest cemetery in Italy crossed by 37 km internal roads. In order to respect different cults, there are specific departments dedicated to different religions (Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Islamic) with their respective churches and temples: the Catholic Church dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, The Israelite Temple and the Polish Chapel, erected by the Poles in Italy and consecrated by Giovanni Paolo II on 1th November 1991. Nearby the Crematorium stands the Garden of Memories: three hectares of wooded hill with meadow and bushes dedicated to the ritual of the dispersion of ashes
