History
Cross of the Victims of Communism

The Salwator Cemetery is also known as the Zwierzyniecki Cemetery for its location in the Zwierzyniec District of Kraków, next to widely popular Kościuszko Mound. It is perceived by the locals as the nicest cemetery in the city. However, the Salwator Cemetery does not feature in the official list of heritage sites, and does not receive financial support from the Council. The graves and the cemetery grounds are maintained by the Parish of St. Salwador in Kraków with the help from volunteer parishioners. In 2002 a brand new chapel was erected there, based on design by Witold Cęckiewicz.[1][2]

Notable burials
          
gollark: It clearly says "plus some salt or acid". That makes it not pure water.
gollark: *continues not being scared of giannis*
gollark: They have a regular structure, and you could store one bit per atom, which is a lot. The main problem is that you would probably need stupidly advanced technology to read and write them.
gollark: One very dense method for storing information in science fiction stuff is sticking it in patterns of isotopes in a diamond or something.
gollark: I don't think *individual* microorganisms store that much DNA (in bytes) so you would have to split it across many of them like some sort of vaguely insane RAID array.
