Mirogoj Cemetery, Public cemetery in Zagreb, Croatia
The monumental cemetery complex features long arcades with cupolas extending over 500 meters along the main entrance section of the grounds.
The city purchased the land from linguist Ljudevit Gaj in 1872, leading to the cemetery's official inauguration on November 6, 1876.
The cemetery provides dedicated burial sections for Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, and Protestant communities, reflecting Zagreb's multicultural heritage.
Public transportation to Mirogoj operates through ZET bus line 106, connecting the cemetery with Kaptol terminal every 20 minutes during opening hours.
The 2020 Zagreb earthquake caused structural damage to the cemetery's arcades, leading to its inclusion among Europe's seven most endangered heritage sites.
