Located in the northwest section of the city of Krakow in Zwierzyniec, west of Salwator in the District VII, this cemetery opened in 1865 as a small parish cemetery, but today, it is just under 12.5 acres after expanding in 1902 and 1999. Along with private donations, the cemetery is managed very well by the Parish of the Saint Salwator. The tree-covered grounds feature wide sidewalks between the rows of family plots with graves. The newer extension has fewer trees and more modern markers. There are many styles of grave markers throughout the cemetery featuring huge traditional granite crosses to contemporary statues. The cemetery was enclosed in 1883. In 1888 a cemetery chapel, Saint Joseph, was erected within the cemetery, and had catacombs for nuns; a new chapel with modern architecture was built in 2002. On All Saints Day, which is the first day of November, the historical crypts of famous Poles are opened and that night, the cemetery glows with candles.
