Cemetery
New Cemetery
Ruzveltova 50, Beograd 11120
Nineteenth-century city of the dead with sculpted tombs, family chapels and an alley of notable graves.
This guide to the New Cemetery in Belgrade follows Mihailo Petrović, a mathematician whom the whole city knew as Alas, the river fisherman. It moves from his fishing licence to the Paris World Exposition of nineteen hundred, where a strange machine of his stood in the Serbian pavilion. Along the way come patents, army codes and a violin. Best heard strolling the avenues among the family chapels.
