This may sound a bit weird, but Mirogoj is one of the most beautiful cemetaries I've seen in Europe. The combination of the wonderful archades, where many of the Croatian greats are burried, the nature and the art in the form of old sculptures and interesting tombstones make it one of the most interesting places in the city. Seriously, if you find yourself in Zagreb, don't miss the Mirogoj cemetary!
Monumental Zagreb graveyard where a lot of croatian greates have been buried. Clean, peaceful and beutiful. Outside you see mysterious domes guarding the entrance, but inside they turn into beautiful cascades decorating the resting places of many important historical personas. Definetly a recommendation for a peaceful spiritual stroll.
Nice old fasion design.
Mirogoj - cemetery: a common grave of 852 Serbian children from Kozara, 1942
Even though it is always a slightly macabre thing to say about a cemetery, this is a beautiful place with lots of history.
I wouldn't say I was impressed. Maybe I missed something but besides the nice entrance building and the beautiful nature its an ordinary cemetery. I am sure there are some interesting sculpture but I guess you have to search for it. Winter is not ideal for visiting plus you have to a bus up there if not into trekking!
A truly remarkable cemery, from a visitor point of view. Both the old and the new crypts are worth seeing. All in all, it was a nice quiet break from the crowded city of Zagreb.
We didn't really know about this landmark until a local friend told us about it. At first, we thought it was a bit creepy to be going around a cementery but there are some very impressive tomb tones, not entirely sure how respectful this may be but there were plenty of other tourists as well. Lots of historical and important people buried here.
The main Zagreb cemetery with beautiful architecture on the main entrance with Mirogoj arcade. It's not only a Christian but a cemetery for all religious groups. As a tourist place it's definitely worth a visit!
One of the most beautiful cemeteries in the region. It is known especially for arcades - the part in which the famous Croatian people are buried, often in very peculiar graves. Certainly a place worth visiting during a visit to Zagreb.
