Új köztemető

The Új köztemető, also known as the New Public Cemetery, is one of Budapest's two main cemeteries and is located in the city's 10th district. Since its founding in 1893, it has reflected the cemetery design of the turn of the century. Plot 301 is especially significant: Imre Nagy and his fellow insurgents were buried here after the 1956 uprising. After their rehabilitation in 1989, they remained at this site at the family's request. Visitors can also admire the mausoleum for Sándor Schmidl, built in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style. This work by Ödön Lechner and Béla Lajta stands out for its turquoise tiles and floral patterns drawn from Hungarian folk art.
