The Old Jewish Cemetery is located at the junction of Kalinowszczyzna Street and Sienna Street, on a loessial hill that once was a medieval settlement. The 1541 tombstone on the grave of Jakub Kopelman is the oldest Jewish gravestone that has remained in its original place. Many eminent rabbis, academics and Jewish leaders are buried here, including Y. Y. Horowitz, the Seer of Lublin, whose grave is in the form of an ohel – a metal structure built over a stone matzevah. Each preserved tombstone is a unique example of artistic stonework. The place was used for burials till the 19th c.
