Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses Jurkovič’s military cemeteries in Galicia (present-day Poland and Ukraine) as a landscape feature and in the context of his work. Dušan Jurkovič is an architect strongly connected to every landscape segment he worked on. Let us recall his buildings in the Beskydy Mountains or the Way of the Cross on Hostýn hill. The 32 military cemeteries in western Galicia built in 1916–1918 make consistent use of the landscape conditions and are among the highlights of the architect’s work.
