A very popular tourist attraction in Prague is one of Europe's oldest Jewish cemeteries. It is located the Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, one block away from the famous Old-New Synagogue and holds around 12,000 visible tombstones in a small yard which are only a small part out of the thousands of graves buried below. The reason is the rules published from the 15th century to 1787 by the rulers of Prague that did not allow for Jews to bury their dead anywhere else. The lack of space caused the graves to be piled one on top of the other. There are two significant graves here - the oldest, which belongs to one Avigdor Kara (a poet), who died according to the records in 1439 and the well-known grave of Jehuda ben Bezalel who is known for creating the “Golem of Prague”.
