The Glasgow Necropolis

The Glasgow Necropolis is a fascinating Victorian cemetery, modeled after the famous Père-Lachaise in Paris. Established in 1833, it is a testament to the wealth and prosperity of the Victorian era in Glasgow.

With more than 50,000 graves, this multi-faith burial site impresses with its architectural and artistic diversity. An entrance across the famous 'Bridge of Sighs' leads to impressive monuments, including the John Knox Monument and the Houldsworth Mausoleum.

As you walk up the hill, you can enjoy the city skyline and discover the stories of Glasgow's rich and influential citizens. An ideal place for lovers of history, architecture and quiet contemplation.
