Military cemeteries

It's one of a kind cemetery complex situated on the slope of Zniesienie Hill. It's a place of rest of thousands of soldiers who died between 1914 and 1915 in battles for Przemyśl Fortress. In 1916, soldiers of Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian armies were buried in four necropolises designed by engineer Franciszek Szabolcs. One of the cemeteries is dedicated to unidentified soldiers. The most impressive is the German cemetery - a brick mausoleum.

In the 1920s, the Military Cemetery was established in the separated area of the lower Austro-Hungarian graveyard. It consists of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the obelisk of Polish Legions, graves of soldiers fallen during World War II and battles with UPA, the quarter of the Home Army, and monuments commemorating Poles murdered in Katyń and Kresy.

The youngest necropolis is the German Military Cemetery from World War II, designed by Bogusław Gębarowicz, and given back in 1995. It consists of graves of exhumated German soldiers who, in 1939 - 1945, died in southeastern Poland.

In Przemyśl, there are also the cemetery of Soviet and Italian captives from the years between 1941 and 1944 on Obozowa Street and the Ukrainian military cemetery on Kasztanowa Street.
