Ascension Graveyard

A solemn final resting place rich in history, art, and the echoes of souls from wars and migrations.

Established in 1860, Ascension Graveyard harbors souls relocated from Jovanovsko Cemetery in 1921, where a monument of artistic significance marks their communal resting place. This hallowed ground also memorializes World War I prisoners with a dedicated grave, alongside the Russian Parcel, where Orthodox emigrants find eternal peace. Enriched by memorials from notable families and a chapel built from a dismantled church, Ascension weaves a somber tapestry of history, loss, and remembrance.
