This was founded in the early 19th Century as a cemetery for the hospital named Ospedale Maggiore or Ca' Granda. The unusual building consists of a perimeter wall with, at the center, a church, now no longer used for religious functions, dedicated to Saint Michael, with plan in the form of a Greek cross. In 1725 another wall was built, creating a plan including large lobate structures. In 1870 a smallpox epidemic broke out and 5,000 people with the disease were isolated here. In 1940, it became a wash-house for the hospital. Today it is an open-air garden, a play area for children, while in summer it is used for open-air cinema projections: the ex-church is used for temporary shows and congresses.
