A detail of the closed gate of the New English Cemetery in Livorno. We have already seen the Old English Cemetery, now we will get a glimpse of the relatively newer burial ground, used mostly in the second half of the 19th century.
The old cemetery was built just beyond the city walls of the time. The new one was planned just outside the more recent Leopoldine Wall, in “Via Pera”, not far from the San Marco Gate.
A picture of the cemetery taken from outside the gate, it is not an easy place to visit.See also: Old English Cemetery - San Marco - Leopoldine Wall
