Description Officially established in 1786 by Austro-Hungarian authorities, the first burials actually took place in the 16th century. Since then, more than 400,000 inhabitants have been buried here. Communal graves of soldiers and freedom fighters can also be found. The most renowned is the grave of the Lwów Eaglets: Polish child soldiers who defended Lviv during the Polish-Ukrainian War (1918-1919). After the Soviets took control, the grave was desecrated and turned into a dump in 1971; the site was restored and reopened in 2005. The period when the Soviets took over the city, after WWII, was the worst time for the cemetery—many historical monuments were destroyed; however, in 1975, the cemetery was declared a historical monument.
