The Jewish Cemetery ({{lang-mt|Iċ-Ċimiterju tal-Lhud}}, {{lang-it|Cimitero degli Israeliti}}) is a cemetery in Marsa, Malta. It was established in December 1879, and it was built to designs of the English architect Webster Paulson.

History

The Jewish Cemetery is located in the Ta' Sammat area of Marsa, directly adjacent to the Turkish Military Cemetery.[1] It was established in December 1879 and it was designed by the English architect Webster Paulson.[1]

The proximity of the Jewish and Turkish cemeteries led Lieutenant-Governor Sir Harry Luke to state that the area "is the only place in the world where Arabs and Jews lie peacefully together",[1] albeit Turks are not actually Arabs.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission cares for six graves inside the cemetery: three Commonwealth military burials (one from World War I and two from World War II), one non-war burial and two war graves from other nationalities.[2]

The cemetery is still in use,[1] but it is often kept locked.[2] The cemetery contains the graves of people from Poland, Spain, Russia, Hungary, Australia, China and other European countries.[3]

Architecture

The Jewish Cemetery is built in a neoclassical style.[1] Its architecture is unremarkable, and it is overshadowed by Emanuele Luigi Galizia's Turkish Military Cemetery.[1]

The only significant architectural feature of the cemetery is its main gate, which has decorations which are similar to Torah finials.[1] Below the pediment, there is an Italian inscription indicating that the government granted the cemetery to the Jewish community in a public act on 8 December 1879.[1]
