Postcard from the Czech Republic!

Today I got a nice postcard from the Czech Republic! The postcard shows a scene at the popular Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. Located in the Jewish Quarter, it was established in the early 15th century. While there are about 12,000 visible tombstones, it is estimated that there may be over 100,000 burials. This is because there are many different layers of tombs. The site was in use until the 17th century. The card is an official Postcrossing card, CZ-522374. Thanks Hanka!
