necropolis
noun
ne·crop·o·lis nə-ˈkrä-pə-ləs 
ne-
plural necropolises or necropoles nə-ˈkrä-pə-ˌlēz
ne-
or necropoleis nə-ˈkrä-pə-ˌlās ne-
or necropoli nə-ˈkrä-pə-ˌlī -ˌlē,
ne-
: cemetery
especially : a large elaborate cemetery of an ancient city
Did you know?
With its -polis ending, meaning "city", a necropolis is a "city of the dead". Most of the famous necropolises of Egypt line the Nile River across from their cities. In ancient Greece and Rome, a necropolis would often line the road leading out of a city; in the 1940s a great Roman necropolis was discovered under the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica. Some more recent cemeteries especially deserve the name necropolis because they resemble cities of aboveground tombs, a necessity in low-lying areas such as New Orleans where a high water table prevents underground burial.
