Yegoshikha Cemetery

Yegoshikha Cemetery is a large burial ground in Sverdlovsky City District with graves, monuments, and three Orthodox churches set throughout its grounds. Different sections are connected by maintained pathways that guide visitors through the various areas and burial sites.

The cemetery was established in 1760 as Perm's first official burial ground. Expansions occurred multiple times during the 18th century to meet the city's growing burial needs.

The burial ground reflects Perm's religious diversity through sections serving Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and other faiths that coexist side by side. Walking through these areas reveals how different communities have shared this space over generations.

The cemetery can be entered through several marked gates and is easy to navigate through different sections. Wear sturdy shoes as pathways and terrain can be uneven in places.

Three separate churches stand within the burial ground, each serving different religious and ceremonial functions for the community over time. These structures demonstrate how the site evolved to support the spiritual needs of those it served.
