Old Jewish cemetery of Kraków. Located next to Remuh Synagogue was established in 1535. It closed when the new cemetery at Miodowa was opened in year 1800. The most notable person buried at Remuh Cemetery is Rabbi Moses Isserles, others include rabbis of the Jewish communities in Vienna, in Prague and in Kraków and heads of Kraków Talmudic Academy. During Nazi occupation the place was destroyed and tombstones reused as paving stones (in Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp). After the war restoration of the cemetery was attempted, but not many tombstones could be found and today only small fraction of the monuments stands again.
Built in 1860 - 1862. Reform synagogue that is open to the public. Since it's an operational synagogue, men and women should dress somewhat conservatively and have their shoulders covered. During the Nazi occupation, the synagogue was used as a horse stable, but it was eventually rededicated to its religious mission. The interior is beautiful. It has a monumental example of Aron Kodesh made from Carrara marble and 43 stained glass windows. There are a series of photos and information boards outlining the fate of the Jews in Krakow during WWII.
