Portuguese Jewish cemetery in the eighteenth century courtyard of a building on Avenue de Flandre
The Portuguese Jewish community in 1780 obtained the right to buy land for development as a cemetery. The land is then outside now in Paris, close to the barrier for granting soon materialized through the wall of the farmers general built from 1784 to 1791.
In the late eighteenth century, the dead buried in the urban area are moved outside speakers or hidden in the catacombs (like bones from the cemetery Innocent). It is the exile of the dead.
