Central Cemetery, Heritage cemetery in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The Central Cemetery spans 220,000 square meters and contains 33,000 graves with tombstones representing various architectural styles from eclectic to Art Nouveau.

Established in 1585 following a plague outbreak, the cemetery moved outside city limits when the original burial ground reached capacity.

The cemetery includes graves from multiple religious denominations, including Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Reformed, Unitarian, and Jewish communities in Cluj-Napoca.

The Local Council and City Hall of Cluj-Napoca maintain the cemetery, which remains active for current funerals and memorial services.

The Bethlen family tomb-chapel stands as the only neo-Roman style funerary monument in Cluj County.
