Walking
tour at the New Cemetery in Belgrade in November hit the record in number of visitors
The New Cemetery in Belgrade welcomed 108 visitors on 5 November 2017. Our free themed walk named Serbian Beautiful Minds was organized upon request and after an increasing interest of our citizens for another free guided walk after three successfully organized cemetery tours within The European Days of Cultural Heritage in October.
We have so much to be proud of as our
hour-and-a-half planned exploration of Belgrade's oldest urban planned cemetery
extended and almost doubled. Our guided adventure offered a glimpse into the
evolution of death and burial practices in our area as our visitors enjoyed
strolling through a labyrinth of tombs from the past and present enjoying one
of the city’s most alluring parks.
The inspiring guiding provided visitors an
unforgettable experience of discovering the hidden beauties of the New Cemetery
and of reviving memories on academic figures who have left an unforgettable
trace in the rich and turbulent history of Belgrade contributing to its
richness, diversity, cultural identity and the unique authentic spirit. The
management of Public Communal Company Funeral Services of the City of Belgrade
would like to extend gratitude to the visitors for continuing interest in
heritage at cemeteries. We’ve made great strides to create inviting programs
and we’ll remain focused
on delivering even better programs to promote the highly important values of
this authentic urban area of Belgrade.
