Historic Cemeteries: Common Principles of Protection

摘要

Those closed cemeteries, or their sections, are called historic cemeteries which reflect their original structure, the plots and resting-places’ original divisions, and the tombstones have subsisted in their original places. Cemeteries placed on the national or local list of monuments in Hungary could be listed here but just in case the protection affects their whole area or their well-defined section. There are cc.140 historic cemeteries under area protection in our Homeland. A substantial part of further unprotected historic cemeteries is exposed to risk, decay, damage, or liquidation.
