Nikolskoe Cemetery of Alexander Nevsky Lavra
Nikolskoe Cemetery of Alexander Nevsky Lavra, Cemetery at Alexander Nevsky Lavra, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The cemetery features numerous chapels with Ancient Russian style decorations, alongside modernist tombstones adorned with mosaics and detailed carvings.
Established in 1863, the burial ground became a preferred location for Saint Petersburg society after the construction of Saint Nicholas Church in 1871.
