Jurjevsko Cemetery
Jurjevsko Cemetery, also known as the Old St. George's Cemetery, is an ancient burial ground located on the lush hills of Zagreb's Upper Town (Gornji Grad). Originally recorded in 1368 as a burial site for the poor and pauper population, it expanded in 1776 to become Zagreb's main municipal cemetery. Discontinued in 1876 when Mirogoj Cemetery opened, Jurjevsko became a romantic yet eerie park of crumbling tombstones, mausoleums, and dense ivy. It is widely considered one of Zagreb's most atmospheric and haunted historic locations.
