Mirogoj Cemetery (Groblje Mirogoj)
Of Europe's many evocative cemeteries, Mirogoj (MEE-roh-goy) is one of the finest, stud-
ded with great architecture and beautifully designed tombs. This peaceful spot, a short bus
ride from the city center, memorializes many of the greats who built the Croatian nation.
Anyone can enjoy a quiet walk here, but to provide context to your stroll, stop by the TI
first for their free, thorough booklet of maps and descriptions identifying the most signific-
ant graves.
