Situated on a mound in the middle of Piazzale Donatello, the Protestant cemetery was used between 1827 and 1877. The tombs are not arranged in orderly rows but in a rather Romantic fashion accentuated by the contours of the terrain. Philosophers, artists and writers, including Elizabeth Barrett Browning, are buried here.
The English Cemetery is one of the monumental cemeteries of Florence.
