About this cemetery

The New Public Cemetery was opened on 1 May 1886 by the city of Budapest, because the Kerepesi cemetery had become too small and had partly turned into a cemetery of honour. It was extended five times during the following century and is the largest cemetery in Budapest and one of the largest in Europe. Victims of the reprisals that followed the 1956 revolution were buried in plots 300 and 301.
