History
Established in 1617 on the side of Somostető Hill, it is one of the oldest and most valuable cemetery in Transylvania. The mortuary in the centre was built in 1698 of Turkey oak, without iron nails. A small demonstration garden of the most valuable 17th-19th century gravestones in Latin and Hungarian was also created. The mayor Bernády György, the founder of modern Marosvásárhely, is buried here. Wooden memorial columns (kopjafa) has been erected over the graves of Bolyai Farkas and János, with signposts directing to it.
