Prague - Spanish Synagogue

 
The Spanish Synagogue, part of the Museum of the Jewish Quarter, focuses on the history of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries. The building itself is quite spectacular. Built in the last half of the 19th Century, the interior features a dome ornately painted in neo-Moorish style. The photo collection on display offers a glimpse into Jewish life and the sights of Josefov in the 19th Century.
