Kiryat Shaul Cemetery, Jewish cemetery with a military section in Tel Aviv, Israel

Kiryat Shaul Cemetery is a Jewish burial ground in northern Tel Aviv, founded in 1943, covering 320 dunams with about 86,000 graves. Its entrance gate, flanked by rough-hewn stone pillars, bears a metal sign reading "העלמין המרכזי" (Central Cemetery). On the eastern side lie a large military cemetery and a small Samaritan cemetery.

The cemetery was established in 1943 in response to space constraints at Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery, with land acquisition completed in 1949. Its creation reflects the city's growth and the need for larger burial grounds.

Memorials at Kiryat Shaul commemorate Holocaust victims from Brest, Bukovina, Minsk, Kraków, Slonim, Zamość, Oświęcim, Radom and Ivano-Frankivsk; ashes and bones brought from the extermination camps are buried beneath some of them. A separate plot holds the Righteous Among the Nations, and five victims of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre lie near the entrance.

The grounds have pathways running through different sections that help you navigate the large area. Visitors should plan for extended walking and bring water during warm weather, as shaded spots are limited.

In 1999 burial plots were added on the north-west side, where a three-story step-pyramid building was erected. A ramp and a staircase link its floors, which are divided into shaded burial halls and shafts where vegetation grows in direct sunlight. The design follows the Tombs of the Sanhedrin, with burial in niches, and family estates can be bought there.
