Danilov Cemetery, Federal cultural heritage cemetery in Donskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The expansive Danilov Cemetery stretches across multiple sections with stone monuments, traditional crosses, and carefully planned pathways through mature trees.
Founded in 1771, this burial ground became the final resting place for numerous remains transferred from demolished abbeys throughout Moscow's development.
The cemetery holds graves of Russian writers, musicians, and political figures, reflecting different periods of Moscow's social and artistic evolution.
The cemetery grounds, managed by GBU Ritual, remain open for visitors and new burials at Roshchinsky Proezd 30 in southern Moscow.
Several elaborate family vaults contain intricate stone carvings depicting Russian Orthodox symbols combined with classical architectural elements.
