About this cemetery

The Fiumei Road Cemetery, popularly known as Kerepesi Cemetery and formerly the Mező Imre Road cemetery, is one of Budapest's and Hungary's most important burial grounds. The idea of a cemetery for the nation's great figures was raised by István Széchenyi in 1843. It opened in the mid-19th century as the public cemetery of Pest, and by the end of that century had become Hungary's national pantheon. It covers 56 hectares and holds many notable figures of the 19th and 20th centuries.
