About this cemetery
Antakalnis Cemetery in Vilnius, formerly known as the Soldiers' Cemetery, was founded in 1809 and was formed from four separate cemeteries for civilians, soldiers, orphans and First World War participants. It lies in a hilly pine forest in eastern Antakalnis and is the only cemetery in Vilnius that has long held the dead of several faiths, including Orthodox and Catholic. It also contains a memorial to the defenders of freedom killed on 13 January.
