About this cemetery
Žale Central Cemetery is the largest and central cemetery in Ljubljana and Slovenia, located in the Bežigrad District and run by the Žale Public Company. It was developed in the early 20th century because the older cemetery at St Christopher's, after about 120 years of use, had become cramped. A memorial park for the scattering of ashes surrounds the cemetery.
