The gravestones, which date back to the 15th century, showcase an intriguing mix of Hebrew inscriptions, elaborate symbols, and ornate designs.

The cemetery, nestled in the heart of the city, offers a poignant reminder of the past, as well as a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Jewish people.
