Jewish cemetery (Bălți)
The Bălți Jewish Cemetery ( Romanian Cimitirul Evreiesc din Bălți ) is located in Bălți , the second largest city in the north of the Republic of Moldova .
The old Jewish cemetery with tombstones from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century is located near Strada Decebal. It is the second largest Jewish cemetery in the country after the Chișinău cemetery. Numerous gravestones are well preserved, others are overturned, broken or overgrown. The condition of the entire complex is poor.
The cemetery can be reached from the city center via Strada Decebal, which leads in a north-westerly direction up a hill and further out of town becomes the E583 towards Rîșcani and Edineț . Access to the cemetery is possible via a road that branches off from Strada Decebal eastwards or another road further east in the valley. This runs parallel to the railroad track through a simple residential area. The open area with the widely scattered tombstones ( Mazewa in Hebrew ) is located on a grass slope above the railway line in the northwest extension of a one kilometer long lake on the plain, which was artificially created as a regatta course.
