About About the place

The Old Cemetery, officially known as Trumpeldor Cemetery, is one of the earliest Jewish cemeteries in Tel Aviv, established in 1902.

While not always meticulously maintained, the cemetery offers a unique glimpse into the history of Tel Aviv and the early years of the Israeli state. A guided tour is highly recommended to fully appreciate the stories and significance of those interred within its grounds.
