Learn why the cemetery is here and Napoleon's connection to it. Pass notable, unusual, and simple graves that tell stories of love, gratitude, inventions, and more. Encounter politicians, actors, and carnival figures along the way.

Explore the Central Axis of Melaten, known as the "Millionaires' Alley," where prominent figures are buried.
