The monumental and non-Catholic cemeteries of Trieste

Trieste, a cosmopolitan city by vocation and history, has the peculiarity of not having only a Catholic cemetery, that of Saint Anna. Next to it, in fact, there are other cemeteries dedicated to other religious confessions, or dedicated to particular categories, such as what was once the military cemetery. Inside the former military cemetery there are the graves of those soldiers who came from other parts of the world but died in Italy, for example there are the graves of 33 British soldiers, and obelisks that commemorate the soldiers who died during the Second War World. Then there are the Greek Orthodox cemetery and the Serbian Orthodox one, dating back to 1829. The Greek cemetery is adorned with beautiful monumental tombs; a well-known Trieste actor, Angelo Cecchelin, is buried in the Serbian one. Then there is the Jewish cemetery, moved here from its original location near the Castle of San Giusto, where the brother of the writer Italio Svevo rests. At the entrance there is a container with the stones to be placed on the tombstones, and two stelae that commemorate the dead in the concentration camps. The last cemetery is the Evangelical one.
