Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague, Czech Republic - Worldwide Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

Some 12,000 tombstones are located here, each crammed into a tiny space, with the oldest dating back to 1439. Indeed, because it was forbidden to enlarge the burial ground beyond the walled ghetto, the Jews were forced to bury their dead on top of each other - meaning that an estimated 100,000 bodies lie here. Among the cemetery's distinguished stones are those of Mordecai Maisel (d. 1601), Rabbi Löw Ben Bezalel (d. 1609) and David Oppenheimer (d. 1736).
