Jewish Cemetery of Essaouira
The Jewish Cemetery of Essaouira preserves centuries of the city's once-large Jewish community, its rows of white gravestones facing the Atlantic a quiet, evocative testament to a population that at times made up close to half the town before mid-20th-century emigration. It remains an important pilgrimage site for Moroccan Jews visiting from abroad.
