You will see a street going to the right lined with flower vendor stalls - this is Aizsaulies iela. The entrance to Markusa kapi is just before Aizsaulies iela and has a central aisle going away from the entrance. There are also smaller entrances along Aizsaulies iela. The cemetery was opened in 1871 as a burial place for the cities poor. It was origiginally 6 ha. and with the opening of 1 and 2 Meza cemeteries in 1913 it merged in with them. The cemetery is still shown as a seperate cemetery on city maps.
