Josefov in Prague is one of the most valuable Jewish sites in the world. One of the most visited museums in the whole world.
The quiet and melancholy atmosphere of the Old Jewish Cemetery from 1439 A. D. leaves an incredelible impression.
In the Pinkas synagogue, now a monument to victims of the Holocaust, the walls are hand-painted with the names of Czech and Moravian Jews who perished in the Second World War. Upstairs there is a breathtaking exposition of drawings made by children in Terezin.
We are going to see all the synagogues, including an ortodox Old-New Synagogue. It is the oldest preserved synagogue in Europe from 1270 A. D. Oldest synagogue in the world outside of Izrael. Still serves as a house of prayers.

The Old-New Synagogue
This is the oldest synagogues in Europe and oldest in the world outside of Izrael from 1270 A.D. It is still working synagogue so the services are kept inside till nowadays. Women are not allowed to be present at the services. They are separated from men in a different hall. They can only hear some of the words. We call it an orthodox synagogue.
Stary zidovsky Hrbitov
This is the oldest still preserved Jewish cemetery in Prague from 1439 A.D. It is the biggest rarity to see it in Prague. There are burried more then 100.000 people. People had to be burried on top of each other because of lack of space. In 1787 this cemetery was abolished by Joseph II. Habsburg.
Spanish Synagogue, Jewish Museum in Prague
Spanish Synagogue in Prague was built in 1868 to replace the oldest synagogue in Prague from the 12th century A.D. It is an oriental, moorish architectural style. Inside it reminds of Alhambra in Spain and that is why it is called Spanish. They like to present classical music concerts inside of this synagogue so it is also considered as a concert hall. From May 2019 Spanish synagogue will be closed for 2 years because off reconstruction.
