The cemetery was created in 1876 on a plot of land owned by the linguist Ljudevit Gaj. Architect Hermann Bollé designed the main building. The construction of the arcades, the cupolas, and the church in the entryway was begun in 1879. Work was finished in 1929.
It is located today in the Gornji Grad - Medveščak city district, on Mirogojska Road and Hermann Bollé Street.
ZET bus line 106 runs between the cemetery and the Kaptol bus terminal in the heart of Zagreb.
