About this cemetery

Officially the Central Cemetery of Chișinău, this burial ground is commonly but inaccurately called the Armenian Cemetery, since its main entrance is on Armenească Street. It was founded in 1811, and the Church of All Saints was built on its grounds in 1818. It lies in the Centru sector of the city in the triangle formed by Alexei Mateevici, Vasile Alecsandri and Pantelimon Halippa streets. It is among the best-known cemeteries in Moldova and the resting place of many prominent figures of the country's history and culture. For enquiries, call +373 22 275 150 or see cimitire.md.
