Athens, Greece - First cemetery of Athens, tour of the biggest cemetery in Athens. Let's travel to Greece and let's visit the capital city of Athens and let's go to the stunning First Cemetery of Athens which is the official cemetery of the City of Athens and the first to be built. The First cemetery of Athens was opened in 1837 and soon became a prestigious cemetery for Greeks and foreigners. The First cemetery of Athens is located behind the Temple of Olympian Zeus and it is a large green space with pines and cypresses.
The first cemetery of Athens includes several impressive tombs such as those of Heinrich Schliemann, designed by Ernst Ziller; Ioannis Pesmazoglou; Georgios Averoff; and one tomb with a famous sculpture of a dead young girl called I Koimomeni ("The Sleeping Girl") and sculpted by Yannoulis Chalepas from the island of Tinos. There are also burial areas for Protestants and Jews. The cemetery has been declared an historical monument.
Athens is the capital of Greece. It was also at the heart of Ancient Greece, a powerful civilization and empire. The city is still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis, a hilltop citadel topped with ancient buildings like the colonnaded Parthenon temple. The Acropolis Museum, along with the National Archaeological Museum, preserves sculptures, vases, jewelry and more from Ancient Greece.
