The construction of the arcade began only three years after the opening of Mirogoj - 1879, and lasted thirty-eight years, until 1917.
The arcades are paved with multicolored stone slabs, and on the walls and vaults simply decorative painting emphasizes elements of architectural plastic, all in earthy tones. Bollé's Mirogoj's construction has experienced a difficult trial early. In 1880 Zagreb was hit by a powerful earthquake that damaged more than 1,700 buildings, but the arcades did not suffer the least damage. It was an additional proof of Bollé's design and performance.
