English Cemetery of Florence

Dating back to the 19th century, the cemetery is located just outside the historic center of Florence. It was not placed inside the city walls since it was a protestant burial site. Before the Reformed Church of Switzerland purchased this land and established the cemetery, non-Catholics and non-Jews had to be buried in Livorno.

The cemetery is nice and simple, with a variety of gravestones commemorating people from sixteen different countries such as England, Switzerland or Russia. It is also a resting place for many famous people, such as English poets Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Walter Savage Landor.
