Prague’s “crazy cemetery”, popular with ghost hunters but unknown to tourists. Consecrated in 1909 to accommodate deceased patients from a psychiatric hospital, the cemetery is shrouded in legends and mysteries.
It is notably one of the settings for Amadeus, Milos Forman's masterpiece dedicated to Mozart. Margaret Thatcher visited the cemetery in 1990 to bring home the remains of a British pilot shot down at the end of World War II. The cemetery was closed in 1951, then looted and neglected for six decades, with the local chapel almost disappearing under ivy.
