Lublin, Poland · built 1541

The Old Jewish Cemetery (Stary Cmentarz Żydowski w Lublinie), in Lublin, Poland, is located on a hill between Kalinowszczyzna and Sienna Streets. The cemetery overlooks the Old Town and is entirely surrounded by a high, 17th-century wall. It is located on the site of a former medieval fortress, and was once surrounded by numerous backwaters. Currently, the Old Jewish Cemetery in Lublin provides some of the last surviving physical evidence of the centuries-old presence of Jews in the city.
