About this cemetery
Navje Memorial Park is the redesigned part of the former St Christopher's Cemetery, in the Bežigrad district behind Ljubljana railway station. The cemetery opened on 3 May 1779 with its first funeral and a blessing by the Bishop of Ljubljana. After the old cemetery was gradually built over, the city authorities moved remains and gravestones to the surviving area, which was redesigned to plans by the architect Plečnik. It is known as a resting place for notable figures from science, the arts and politics.
