Kiryat Shaul Cemetery, Military and Jewish cemetery in Northern Tel Aviv, Israel

The cemetery extends over 32 hectares and contains more than 80,000 graves, with separate sections for military personnel and civilian burials.

The cemetery was established in 1943 as a response to space limitations at Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery, with land acquisition finalized in 1949.

The grounds include dedicated memorial areas for Holocaust victims from different European cities and a special section for the Righteous Among Nations.

Since 1991, new burials have been limited due to space constraints, leading to the designation of Yarkon Cemetery as the main burial ground.

A three-story burial tower constructed in 1999 features shaded halls and family estates, drawing inspiration from the Tombs of the Sanhedrin.
