Historical cemetery in Warsaw ... it shouldn't be missing on any tour of the capital. There are not only graves to be seen, but real works of art to admire among them 🙋♂️. Riding a bike is of course not allowed, but pushing is allowed.

The Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw, founded on November 4, 1790, is one of the oldest and most important cemeteries in Poland. It has an area of 43 ha and is located in the Wola district. Initially, it had an area of 2.6 ha, and its area was gradually expanded during the 19th and 20th centuries. The cemetery is under conservation protection, and its care is supervised by the Warsaw Metropolitan Curia and the Social Committee for the Protection of Old Powązki.

The Powązki Cemetery, also known as the Old Powązki Cemetery, is one of the oldest and most famous cemeteries in Warsaw. Founded in 1790, it currently covers 43 hectares and is under strict conservation protection. Around a million people are buried in the cemetery, including soldiers of the national uprisings, writers, artists and politicians. There is also an Alley of the Meritorious. Thanks to the initiative of Jerzy Waldorff, an annual collection is held for the renovation of historic tombstones. In 2014, the cemetery was declared a historical monument.
