The monumental cemetery stands out for its imposing tufa colonnade that dominates the city skyline. The cemetery was built in 1852 on the site of the abandoned Benedictine women’s monastery founded in 980 by Duke Mansone I and dedicated to S. Lorenzo del Piano.
The cemetery contains the ruins of a medieval chapel with a valuable fresco and a Roman cinerary urn dating back to the 1st century A.D., bearing an inscription between two burning torches sculpted in high relief.
