    In the 19th century, a cholera epidemic came to Europe from Calcutta (India). In Polans, cholera epidemics occurred several times in the 19th century. In 1894, an epidemic broke out in the Olkusz region. It also came to the town of Skała and lasted 51 days. The deceased (about 52) were buried in the Plague Cemetery, which was located about 2 km from the city center. The Plague Cemetery consists of two separate parts: the largest part is Catholic and the smaller part is Jewish.
