Oscar Wilde’s new grave at Père Lachaise cemetery

111 years after his death the Irish writer and poet Oscar Wilde has a new grave in the Parisian cemetery of Père Lachaise. Classified as a historical monument, the ancient tomb had been damaged by the repeated assaults of the poet’s lovers, who had become accustomed to kissing the stone or covering it with graffiti and lipstick. It is now protected by glass walls while a new stele has been unveiled to the public in the presence of admirers, the British actor Rupert Everett and Merlin Holland, grandson of Oscar Wilde.
