St. Peter's Cemetery Christopher was opened on 3 May 1779 with the first funeral and blessing of the Bishop of Ljubljana, Karl Herberstein. This new cemetery was arranged outside the then city center, as Emperor Joseph II forbade burials around churches in cities, as was customary until then. Interestingly, ancient Romans were buried in the same place, but on both sides of the northern incursion road to Emona, as evidenced by archaeological remains. Today's Vienna Road follows the same route as the Amber Road in ancient times.
