The 8 strangest cemeteries in the world

In a piece of modern art

Being buried in the San Cataldo Cemetery wouldn’t seem so strange if the whole wasn’t an ultra-modern box for filing away the dead. Created as a proof of concept 1972 by architect Aldo Rossi, the “cemetery” is stark to say the least. It takes the form of a bright orange cube with nothing adorning the exterior but a grid of square windows that would have been where the dead were buried. Unfortunately Rossi himself died in 1976, and he was never able to see his super-efficient body box put to use.
