Old Jewish Cemetery, Split

Very interesting place to visit on your way into the main park. Most of the headstones were from the 1920’s and 1930’s. The entrance is just to the right of the restaurant and there is no entrance fee. It only takes a few minutes to walk around. There is only one entrance in and out.

The oldest Jewish cemetery in Croatia, one of the oldest in Europe and the world. It was founded in 1573 and was in use until 1945. It is a protected cultural monument of the Republic of Croatia. It would be good for the Jewish Community in Split, the City of Split and the Republic of Croatia to ensure that the cemetery does not look so disagreeable and neglected. And to be regularly open to the public.

It’s sad that noone takes care of this cemetery. It looks absolutely abandoned, even the plants dried out. Since it's a cultural monument the government should care to preserve it, i believe.

Got here by chance. Keys are at the adjacent cafe. An interesting cemetery.

Eary place to visit, because of all the broken and open graves and overgrown trees. Also a reminder of how we in europe need to protect our minorities.
