Spanish Synagogue (Prague) and its collection

Spanish Synagogue (Prague)
Source

The Spanish Synagogue, located in the Jewish Town of Prague, Czech Republic, is a former Conservative Jewish synagogue. It was completed in 1868 and is a beautiful example of Moorish Revival style architecture. This style was inspired by the art of the Arabic period of Spanish history, which is presumably why the synagogue was named 'Spanish'.

The Spanish Synagogue as a Museum

Since 1955, the Spanish Synagogue has been repurposed as a Jewish museum and is currently administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague. This museum offers a unique opportunity to learn about Jewish history and culture, making it a significant cultural and educational destination.

Exhibition on Modern Jewish History

Since its last restoration in 1998, the Spanish Synagogue houses an exhibition about the modern history of Jews in the Czech Republic. This exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Jewish history in the region, making it a valuable resource for those interested in learning more about this aspect of Czech history.

    The Spanish Synagogue in Prague is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe. Located in the Jewish Quarter, this Moorish Revival style building impresses visitors with its ornate interior, featuring intricate golden decorations and stunning stained glass windows.

Visitors appreciate the well-organized displays and informative audio guides, which provide context to the artifacts and the building itself. The recent renovation has enhanced the visitor experience, with improved lighting and accessibility.

    While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some visitors mention that the entrance fee can be a bit high, especially if not purchased as part of a combined ticket for multiple Jewish Quarter sites.
