Overview
The Jewish Cemetery of Chefchaouen dates to the era when Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain settled here in the 15th century, and it sits just outside the medina's western walls. Simple whitewashed tombstones line the hillside in rows, creating a stark white landscape that contrasts with the city's signature blue. Chefchaouen's Jewish community largely emigrated to Israel by the mid-20th century, but the cemetery is still maintained, bearing witness to the history they left behind. It's also known as a quiet, little-visited walking spot with views over the medina. Free entry. Near the western medina walls.
Travel Tips
As a religious site, walk quietly and avoid touching the tombstones. It pairs well with an early-morning walk along the medina walls.
