Cmentarz Żydowski w Lesku, Jewish cemetery in Lesko, Poland.
The cemetery extends across 3.2 hectares of land containing over 2000 gravestones arranged on a hillside near Slowackiego Street.
The cemetery's first written record dates from 1611, yet the oldest preserved tombstone bears inscriptions from 1548 marking the grave of Eliezer son of Meshulam.
The cemetery presents traditional Jewish sepulchral art through stone decorations depicting crowns and animals on numerous gravestones across different periods.
Access to the cemetery requires advance coordination with the keyholder and payment of an entrance fee at the designated office.
Between 1634 and 1703, no burials occurred in this cemetery, creating a distinct gap in the chronological sequence of gravestones.
