Kever Rabbi Moshe Alshich
Rabbi Moshe Alshich is buried either directly above or inside the cave of the 'Elders of Tzfat' in the city's old cemetery. Most people visit the Tziyun built on top of the cave, where some people claim the Alshich Hakadosh is buried. Others say he is buried inside the cave along with Rabbi Yakov Beirav. A Tziyun was then built as a marker directly above the actual location of the Kever inside the cave, as is found by a number of other Kevrei Tzadikim.
Hillula of Rabbi Moshe Alshich
The yahrzeit of Rabbi Moshe Alshich fals out on the 13th of Nissan, the day proceeding Erev Pesach. This is the same day as the Hillula of Rabbi Yosef Karo. Since both Kevarim are in very close proximity, many people attend both Hillulas.
The Alshich Synagogue
The Alsheich Shul is one of the oldest synagogues in Tzfat.
