The article explores the visual and verbal means that help to represent different identities in the semantic field of death in a contemporary Balkan city, which consists of street necrologies, tombstones and cemetery premises. The research is focused on the city of Prizren situated in the partially-recognized Republic of Kosovo. The data were collected during fieldwork expeditions in 2010 – 2013. The hypothesis is that the sacred space of death in city landscape, comparing to rural setting, is more open to innovation, and therefore the current social processes are better reflected, thus new articulated forms of identity representation and expression are developed. Historical cemeteries, as well as cemeteries of ethnic and confessional minorities, function as sites of memory and play an important role in the construction of current cultural landscape and historical map of Kosovo.
