The cemetery spans 0.65 hectares and contains distinct Catholic and Orthodox sections, enclosed by limestone walls with 190 trees throughout the grounds.

Established around 1815 and closed in 1914, the cemetery served as a burial ground for both local residents and Austro-Hungarian soldiers during World War I.

Located between Kazimierz Wielki and Francesco Nullo streets, the cemetery remains a historical site with designated paths for visitors to explore the grounds.
