Lonely Planet review for Jewish Cemetery & Habarim Synagogue

The southwest corner of the mellah is home to the fascinating Jewish Cemetery & Habarim Synagogue, where the sea of blindingly white tombs stretches down the hill; those in dedicated enclosures are tombs of rabbis. One of the oldest, high up against the north wall, is that of Rabbi Vidal Hasserfaty, who died in 1600. On the slope below, the large tomb with green trimming is that of the martyr Solica, a 14-year-old girl who refused to convert to Islam or accept the advances of the governor of Tangier and subsequently had her throat slit.
