Praha | Jewish MuseumUntil

Jewish Museum Until the end of the 19th century, the area north of the Old Town Square constituted the Jewish Ghetto. Much of the area was cleared to make way for art nouveau buildings, but some of the flavour still remains. The Jewish Museum actually comprises six different historical sites around the neighbourhood, accessible on a single ticket. It allows admission to the Klausen Synagogue, the Maisel Synagogue, the Pinkas Synagogue, the utterly beautiful Spanish Synagogue, the Ceremonial Hall and the Old Jewish Cemetery. Taken together, they provide a stirring insight into this aspect of Prague’s history.
