Outside the Medieval walls behind Piazza dei Miracoli, the Jewish cemetery has hosted the burials of the Jews of Pisa and elsewhere since 1674.
The different geographic origins of the graves show how the Jewish presence in Pisa has been varied over the centuries and also testifies to the choice of many Jews (especially from Spain and Portugal) to be buried in the Pisan cemetery, by virtue of the monumental context in which it is inserted. Documents and testimonies attest to the existence in Pisa of at least four Jewish cemeteries from the 13th century to today.
The Cemetery is visible from the top of the medieval walls, access point Tower of Santa Maria.
The visitor can choose whether to visit the cemetery alone or combine the experience with a visit to the Synagogue, all with a special combined ticket. Exploring both sites will allow for a more immersive experience in the history of the Pisan community and the fascinating Jewish culture.
