Fontechiari. Napoleonic Cemetery

The Napoleonic cemetery of Fontechiari is a circular two-story building and looks like a small fort.

Inside there are common trench graves while on the circumference the chapels of the families.

The structure is circular as it is inspired by similar constructions made in Paris and Verona, which were subsequently incorporated into refurbishments.
