Zagreb, Croatia -- Mirogoj lacks the chapels with which wealthy families built in say Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery. Instead, Bollé built long arcades where family could assemble their tombs in niches like so may side altars in a cathedral. This cemetery consolidated remains found in the many parish cemeteries and thus freed up urban land around the churches in the rapidly growing city. From the foothills, Mirogoj Cemetery looks down upon its city as it awaits the arrival of those who bustle below.
