Jewish Cemetary

Posted by Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 3 July 2006 in Cityscape & Urban.

This is the old Jewish Cemetary in Prague.
** update after Steve's comment **
The headstones are pretty old since this cemetary was created in the 15th century and was active until about 1787. There are around 12,000 tombstones although it is assumed that there are several burial layers so the number of people resting there is much greater.
