About this cemetery
The Old Jewish Cemetery in Lviv was one of the oldest in Eastern Europe and, together with remnants of the High Castle walls and St Nicholas church, one of the few princely-era monuments in the city to survive into the 20th century. Of the Jewish cemeteries that existed in Lviv before the Second World War, only one remains, in a somewhat damaged state. You can reach the cemetery on +380 322 971 814 or through jewishheritage.org.ua.
