The Cimetière des Rois (French: Cemetery of Kings) (officially Cimetière de Plainpalais) is a cemetery in Geneva, Switzerland. The cemetery is commonly named after la rue des Rois (French: Kings' Street) near which it is situated.[1] The graveyard was established in 1482 for people who died from plague in the Middle Ages, during the second plague pandemic.[1]
The right to rest in the cemetery of Plainpalais is strictly limited. Under Article 30 (3) of the City of Geneva Cemeteries Regulations, only "magistrates and distinguished personalities, having contributed by their life and activity to the influence of Geneva"[2] can claim a concession whose request must be made to the Administrative Council.
