Fiume Road Graveyard

Fiume Road Graveyard, National cemetery in District VIII, Hungary

Fiume Road National Graveyard covers 56 hectares in Budapest's District VIII, of which 25 hectares are parkland. Its arcades, built between 1908 and 1911, follow the style of northern Italian cemeteries, and the grounds hold the mausoleums of Lajos Batthyány, Ferenc Deák and Lajos Kossuth. The Deák mausoleum was designed by Kálmán Gerster with stained glass by Miksa Róth.

In June 1847 Budapest's magistrates set aside about 130 hectares beside the Kerepesi road for a new cemetery; scattered burials began that July, and the official opening followed on 1 April 1849. Mihály Vörösmarty was the first notable interred, in 1855, and in 1870 the remains of 1848 honvéd soldiers were moved here. Declared closed in 1952, it was protected from 1956 and placed under the National Heritage Institute in 2016.

The cemetery's name comes from Fiumei út, the road along its western edge; locals still call it Kerepesi after the old highway. Since 1874 a separate parcel has held those denied a church funeral, such as suicides and executed people. The artists' sector, created in 1929, gathers painters, sculptors and writers, and the arcades built in 1908–1911 follow northern Italian models.

The entrance is on Fiumei út; trams 24, 28, 28A, 37, 37A and 62 stop nearby, and Metro line 2 serves Keleti pályaudvar. Cars may drive in, and bicycles are allowed across the whole 56-hectare grounds. The Salgótarjáni utcai Jewish cemetery next door is reached only from Salgótarjáni út.

In 1953 part of the grounds was handed to a nearby rubber factory and destroyed, after plans had been made to build a housing estate over the cemetery. The Labour Movement Mausoleum, created by Olcsai-Kiss Zoltán in 1958, was the only section the Communist authorities highlighted. In summer 2007 scenes for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas were filmed here.
