About this cemetery
Mamilla Cemetery is a Muslim cemetery in central Jerusalem, next to Independence Park, dating to the Mamluk period and with Ayyubid and possibly earlier foundations. Development during the 20th century reduced it to about 20 dunams around the Mamilla Pool, where several dozen gravestones remain. Plans to build the Jerusalem courts on part of the grounds have been disputed.
