San Michele Church & Cemetery Island - Venice, Italy
Island of San Michele



The walled island called San Michele, filled with cypress trees, is Venice's cemetery. It also contains Venice's oldest Renaissance Church, San Michele in Isola. Because of the lack of space, current burials here are temporary (usually twenty years) and then bodies are disinterred and removed to a permanent resting spot on the mainland. This view of the island is from Venice proper.
