Armenian Cemetery, Cemetery in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia
The Armenian Cemetery covers 17 hectares with over 10,000 graves, featuring stone crosses, sculptures, and traditional Armenian gravestones across its grounds.
Minas Lazarev, leader of Moscow's Armenian community, established this burial ground in 1805 alongside the construction of Surb Harutyun Armenian church.
The cemetery contains numerous Armenian khachkars, medieval canons, and gravestones that display the traditional craftsmanship and artistry of Armenian funerary monuments.
The cemetery maintains regular visiting hours for the public, with guided tours available through the administration office located near the main entrance.
World Chess Champion Tigran Petrosian and opera singer Zara Dolukhanova rest among the thousands of notable figures buried in this cemetery.
