Old Jewish Cemetery, Jewish cemetery on Grodzisko hill, Lublin, Poland.
The cemetery contains over 100 preserved matzevot tombstones distributed across a hilltop location enclosed by a stone wall from the 17th century.
Established in 1541, the cemetery features Poland's oldest preserved Jewish gravestone belonging to Talmudist Yaakov Kopelman Halevi at its original burial location.
Archaeological findings reveal traditional burial practices including ceramic shards placed on eyes and lips, along with padlocks symbolizing tomb sealing.
Entry to the cemetery requires advance permission, and visitors can access the grounds through entrances located on Sienna and Kalinowszczyzna streets.
The cemetery grounds were built upon a former medieval fortress site, with multiple water channels surrounding the perimeter during its early period.
