Salwator Cemetery (Polish: Cmentarz Salwatorski), is a historic parish cemetery located at George Washington Avenue in Zwierzyniec, the former district of Kraków, Poland.
History
Consecrated in 1865, it was the parish cemetery of the former village of Zwierzyniec. The name Salwatorski comes from the nearby church of the Holy Saviour and the name of the parish.
The Salwator Cemetery is also known as the Zwierzyniecki Cemetery for its location in the Zwierzyniec District of Kraków, next to widely popular Kościuszko Mound. It is perceived by the locals as the nicest cemetery in the city. In 2002, a brand new chapel was erected there, based on design by Witold Cęckiewicz.[1][2]
