    First Cemetery of Athens

    AthensGreece1837

    The First Cemetery of Athens (Proto Nekrotafeio Athinon), opened in 1837 behind the Temple of Olympian Zeus, is the resting place of Greece's most celebrated statesmen, revolutionaries, poets, and artists. Renowned globally for its breathtaking marble funerary sculpture—most notably the 'Sleeping Maiden' (I Koimomeni)—the cemetery is also steeped in urban ghost lore, including the famous spirit of Nikolas Katsaros, a legendary 1920s cemetery gravedigger.
