Jewish Monuments Around Prague

Prague is home to several remarkable Jewish monuments that reflect its rich cultural heritage. The Jewish Quarter (Josefov) features the Old-New Synagogue, the oldest active synagogue in Europe, where visitors can appreciate its stunning Gothic architecture. A visit to the Old Jewish Cemetery reveals thousands of gravestones that tell the stories of the city’s Jewish past, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. The Pinkas Synagogue serves as a powerful memorial to the Holocaust, with walls inscribed with the names of over 77,000 victims, reminding us of the tragic loss suffered by the community. Together, these sites offer a profound insight into the history, resilience, and enduring spirit of Prague’s Jewish population.
