Old Jewish Cemetery Prague

Josefov was Prague's Jewish ghetto, and this cemetery was never intended to hold centuries' worth of Josefov residents - but, unfortunately, it does. Consequently, bodies are buried 12 deep in some areas of the cemetery. Understandably, this is the reason tombstones confusedly clutter the too-small space and why so many grave markers seem neglected and forgotten.
