Vinohrady Cemetery was founded in 1885 as a burial ground for Královské Vinohrady, then an independent town. It was gradually expanded to its current almost 10 hectares and, containing more than 55,000 deceased, Vinohrady Cemetery is now the second largest graveyard in Prague. The site’s most notable building is the neo-Gothic Chapel of St. Wenceslas, which serves as a ceremonial hall and also as a lapidarium for some beautiful original funerary sculptures. The cemetery is the last resting place for a number of prominent figures, including President Václav Havel and his wife Olga, Emil Hácha, E. E. Kisch, Jiří Šlitr, Jan Kotěra, Eliška Junková, Jakub Schikaneder and Karel Zich, to name but a few.
