San Michele Cemetery

If you take a boat to the colored island, the nearest island to him is St. Michel, surrounded by a group of brick red walls outside, in fact, can not go up, can not see what the inside is like? Can only look far when the water bus passes.

The island of Saint Michel is quite spectacular because there is no island cemetery anywhere else in the world, and the Monastery of Saint Michele serves as a burial of the souls of the Lordless. Walk around to see the tombstone, which has lots of photos of the deceased, is not a tourist attraction, so selfies, food and drinks are not appropriate, but it is really a spectacular place.

Because of Venice's water table, the city has to decide how to bury the dead. St. Michel's walls have tombs, shallow graves and mausoleums. Like many other cities in Europe, space is limited, with the dead buried in shallow graves there and kept for up to fifteen years, after which they are excavated and the bones returned to the family for proper burial in the mausoleum or elsewhere. If the bones were not claimed, they were thrown into a community monastery.

Always very intimate, the service is very warm, there is really nothing to say, it is over

Opposite the Nevo pier, the island built a long brick wall along the shore, very quiet, it turned out to be a local public cemetery, usually few tourists to play, most water buses do not stop here.

Close to a monastery on the edge of the river, solemn, and seen on the tour boat, the monastery is also a very good landscape, it is said that historically it is also a cemetery design, a very unique quiet place.
