The Old Jewish Cemetery, the second largest after Prague, is a brand and cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a historic place. He testified about the life of Jews in Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond. It is located in the settlement of Kovačići in Sarajevo, below Debeli brdo. Time has done its thing. The cemetery was opened in 1630 and was built right next to the necropolis of medieval stećak tombstones at the Borak site. The tombstones of the Bosnian Sephardim differ in the shape and motifs of the Jewish slaves in other parts of the world. The Jewish cemetery suffered great damage in 1941, so in 1952 a monument to the victims of fascist terror, the work of Jehiel Finci, was erected in the cemetery. It was closed and buried in 1966. During the 1992/95 aggression. The cemetery was on "no man's land", so that many were damaged and the monuments were damaged and destroyed. This sacral monument deserves a thorough reconstruction and protection

If it was in another country, it would have been inscribed on the UNESCO list a long time ago. Wonderful.

Beautiful view of Sarajevo and fascinating cemetery from the beginning of the 20th century. Make sure you visit this hidden corner. Appeal to the Cantonal Government to set up this magnificent cemetery. Most of the monuments have been demolished and need reconstruction. Basic information is also required
