A brief look at the joint grave of former Communist leader Nicolae & Elena Ceausescu Ghencea Cemetery, Bucharest, Romania.
The information I had (from a travel guide published in 2016) said that Nicolae & Elena were buried in separate places but in fact they were brought together into a single grave in December 2010.
Nicolae Ceausescu was the last Communist leader of Romania from 1965 to 1989. Nicolae & his wife Elena Ceausescu were executed on 25th December 1989 following a brief trial in Târgoviște, Romania
(about 50miles/80km NE from Bucharest). They were charged with genocide and the sabotage of the Romanian economy and found guilty in an hour.
To visit: Ghencea Cemetery is a few miles SE from the centre of Bucharest and can be reached by tram no 47. Walking in the main entrance, head straight to the small chapel in front of you (about 200m). Take the left path from the chapel (heading west) and
the grave is on the right side of the path, about 4 grave plots in from the chapel.
