Mirogoj Cemetery is Zagreb's principal cemetery and one of the most architecturally significant cemeteries in Europe, designed by Austrian-Croatian architect Hermann Bollé starting in 1879. Its long neo-Renaissance arcades, crowned with a procession of green copper domes, enclose a park-like grounds open to people of all faiths — unusual for its time, since Zagreb's older cemeteries were church-owned. Notable burials include Croatia's first president Franjo Tuđman, writer Marija Jurić Zagorka, Nobel laureate chemist Vladimir Prelog, and Bollé himself.
