The Flaminio Cemetery (also known as Prima Porta Cemetery) was consecrated in 1941 and is considered a masterpiece of contemporary cemetery architecture.
With an extension of 140 hectares, it is the largest cemetery in Italy, crossed by 37 km of internal roads. Respecting individual cults, it has sections reserved for the various religious beliefs (Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Islamic) with their respective churches and temples: the Catholic Church dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, the Jewish Temple and the Polish Chapel, built by Poles in Italy and consecrated by Blessed John Paul II on 1 November 1991.
Nearby the Crematorium Area is the Garden of Memories: three hectares of wooded hill with lawns and bushes dedicated to the rite of scattering ashes of loved ones.
