Bronowicki Cemetery - located in Kraków, in Bronowice Wielkie, in the IV District of Prądnik Biały at ul. Pasternik 40. It was founded in 1909 on the Pasternik Hill. The cemetery covers an area of 2.5 ha. It is administered by the Krakow Board of Municipal Cemeteries. The necropolis was established at the turn of the 19th and 20th century and is older than the local parish. It is located on the space between Pasternik and Na Polach streets near Wróżna Góry on the border of Bronowice Wielkie and Bronowice Małe. Initially, it served as a parish cemetery for members of the parish dedicated to Saint St Francis of Assisi in Bronowice Wielkie and the residents of Bronowice Małe, which at that time belonged to the St. Mary's Parish. With the population growth in Bronowice in the 1930s, the area of the necropolis was enlarged to the waist, which is now the first asphalt alley parallel to ul. Pasternik. As a result of the changes that followed the Second World War (nationalization of land), the cemetery was transformed from a parish into a communal one. With the passage of time, its area gradually became (stage 1: 1950s, stage 2: the 1970s) enlargement, because due to its intimacy and convenient location it became a burial place for the inhabitants of the surrounding housing estates of Kraków.
