Tomb of Matteo Ricci (1610) Matteo Ricci's tomb is located two miles from the west gate of the Beijing city. The tomb is of the shape of a small hill. The title on the tomb reads, '1610, Pioneer of Christian Missionary'. There is a cross carved on the tomb with inscription in both Latin and Chinese. On the two sides are the tombs of Ferdinand Verbiest, and Jojann Adam Scall von Bell. Due to Ricci's achievements in China, the communist Chinese regards the tomb highly and has been doing a good job in up-keeping it and protecting the tomb from vandalism.
