The
Jewish Quarter is part of Prague's Old Town and forms a
self-contained area that can be easily covered on foot.
The district was named Josefov after
emperor Josef II and
was added to Prague's historical center in 1850. Prague's
Jewish population has lived in this area for centuries
and was nearly wiped out during World War II. Today, the Jewish
Museum administers
a number of synagogues, such as the Old-New
Synagogue - the oldest working synagogue in Europe
(not visited on this tour), the Pinkas
Synagogue that
serves as a memorial to the victims of the holocaust with
almost 80,000 names inscribed on its walls, the astonishing Spanish
Synagogue, and others. All of the synagogues have
been beautifully restored and house priceless exhibits
collected throughout the past. Your walk will end on Old
Town Square.
