Židovská zahrada, Archaeological site and Jewish cemetery in New Town, Czech Republic
The cemetery grounds contain over 12,000 gravestones with bodies layered up to 10 levels deep due to space limitations in medieval Prague.
This burial ground operated from 1478 until 1787 when Emperor Josef II prohibited burials within Prague city walls for health considerations.
Hebrew inscriptions and symbolic decorations on gravestones reveal information about the deceased individuals, including their names, professions, and dates of death.
The cemetery sits between Pinkas and Klausen Synagogues, with disabled access available through the Klausen Synagogue exit at Široka 3.
Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, mathematician David Gans, and Jewish Town mayor Mordecai Maisel rest among the 100,000 people buried here.
