Stary cmentarz w Olkuszu

Stary cmentarz w Olkuszu, 19th century cemetery in Olkusz, Poland.

Stary cmentarz w Olkuszu is a 19th century burial ground divided into Catholic and Orthodox sections within limestone walls. The site contains around 31 burial structures and monuments scattered under mature trees across the grounds.

The cemetery was founded between 1815 and 1821 and formally closed in 1914, though family burials continued into the 1930s. Its Orthodox quarter, about 13 ares in the eastern part, was probably laid out between 1826 and 1843 for Russian border-guard soldiers, officials and their families. In May 1863 Colonel Francesco Nullo, an Italian revolutionary killed at Krzykawka, was buried here.

The Orthodox quarter, about 13 ares in the eastern part, was most likely laid out between 1826 and 1843 and held Russian border-guard soldiers, officials and their families, including small children; Ireneusz Cieślik estimates 200–300 burials there. Since the 1990s the wall between the Catholic and Orthodox parts has been turned into a "wall of memory".

The grounds are located between Kazimierz Wielki and Francesco Nullo streets with clear paths for walking through the site. Visitors can navigate the cemetery comfortably on foot to view the monuments and burial areas.

The site contains a memorial shaped like a broken oak trunk dedicated to Italian revolutionary Colonel Francesco Nullo, a detail many visitors overlook. The same figure is honored by having a nearby street named after him, connecting local history to the cemetery itself.
