Attractions and Activities: Old Jewish Cemetery (At your own expense) The Old Jewish Cemetery is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe and one of the world's surviving ancient Jewish burial grounds operating from the 15th century to the late 18th century. Approximately 80.000 residents of the ghetto in Prague were buried in its confines. Since the cemetery could not hold that amount, the tombs are layered on top of each other, at one section reaching 12 layers. Among the prominent local personalities buried here is 16th-century rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel. He's best known for creating a golem or mud figure, which he reportedly summoned to life to seek protection for the local Jewish community against anti-Semitic attacks. 20 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: Klausen Synagogue, Jewish Museum in Prague (At your own expense) The Klausen synagogue is the biggest synagogue in the Prague Jewish Town. "Klausen" was originally the name given to three smaller buildings from the 16th century that used to be on this site. These buildings included a yeshivah (Talmudic school) that was founded by the famous Rabbi Loew. After the ghetto fire of 1689, the Klausen Synagogue was erected on the site in 1694, in the early Baroque style. 20 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: The Old-New Synagogue (At your own expense) Franz Kafka attended services here. Legend says that Golem, that artificial being made of clay during the 16th century, is hidden in the attic. Built in Gothic Cistercian style during the latter part of the 13th century, the Old-New Synagogue is the oldest building in the Jewish Town and one of Europe's oldest synagogues still in use. It has been the main synagogue of the Prague Jewish community for more than 700 years. 20 min(s)
Attractions and Activities: Spanish Synagogue (At your own expense) The Spanish Synagogue is the most recent synagogue in the Prague Jewish Town. Built in 1868 for the local Reform congregation on the site of the 12th-century Altschul, which was the oldest synagogue in the Prague ghetto. It was called the Spanish Synagogue for its impressive Moorish interior design, influenced by the famous Alhambra. 15 min(s)
