**This place is temporarily closed** Permanent exhibitions: The History of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia, Part 2 This exhibition deals with the history of the Jews in the Bohemian lands from the reforms of Joseph II in the 1780s to the period after the Second World War. It highlights the gradual advancement toward greater equality and emancipation for Jews in Austria-Hungary, describes the foundation of the Czech-Jewish and Zionist movements, and profiles the most important Jewish entrepreneurs, scientists, writers, musicians and artists (including Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud and Gustav Mahler). It also deals with the redevelopment of the Prague Jewish Town, Jewish sites of Bohemia and Moravia, and the history of the Jewish Museum in Prague. Special focus is on the Shoah of Jews from Bohemia and Moravia, and the Terezin ghetto. Synagogue Silver from Bohemia and Moravia Located on the upper floor, this permanent exhibition features a representative selection of more than 200 of the most valuable silver artefacts from the museum's collections. Most space is given over to Torah ornaments - shields, pointers, finials and crowns. Also on display are charity boxes, pitcher and basin sets for hand washing, Shabbat spice boxes, Kiddush cups, Hanukkah and Shabbat candles, and charity collection trays. The Spanish Synagogue is part of the Jewsh museum in Prague. 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. The building was designed by Josef Niklas and Jan Bělský, the remarkable interior (from 1882–83) by Antonín Baum and Bedřich Münzberger. František Škroup, the composer of the Czech national anthem, served as organist here in 1836-45.

    Be prepared when you visit Prague in January. It is snowing and oh! So cold, but worth every minute of it. I just love the architecture, the mystery it holds, the sacredness of this place. From my hotel balcony, the view is
    so beautiful, early morning and at night time. Stroll through the interesting city as you enjoy Lots of vendors, restaurants, souvenir shops, cafes and amazing sculptures. Take time to witness the astronomical clock. Word of caution, keep your belongings close to you, as there are many people side by side, waiting for the clock to strike.

    I always love to watch this astronomical clock when I visit Prague. It’s so interesting and it brings people together. Every time I visit and wait for the clock to strike, there is a time when everyone is quiet. Everyone wants to hear the sound of the clock. How beautiful is that! There is a few minutes of peace. If you’re in Prague, stop, listen and enjoy.

    I've been visiting Prague for 30 years, its a fascinating and beautiful city that's constantly changing, one of the most historic and beautiful district's is Lesser Town .
    The Lesser Town ( Lesser Quarter ) is an old district being founded in 1257,its located in the Castle District ( Hradcany) and is such an amazing area ,architecture is unbelievably beautiful, if you start exploring the area from Malostranske Namesti ( Lesser Town Square) you can take in the beautiful buildings that form this square and the stunning St Nicholas Church, great walking area's are found in this district including Petrin Hill and Kampa Island , throughout this district are an amazing amount of pubs,bars, cafe's and restaurants ,its just an amazing district to visit if you're planning a holiday to Prague.

    Spanish Synagogue is a 19th-century, Moorish-style Synagogue located in the Jewish Quarter in the Old Town

    The interior has amazing stained glass and gold designs in this house of worship.

    The synagogues and the area around were largely spared the destruction of WWII, as Hitler wanted to preserve the area as a “museum of an extinguished race”.

    Beautiful baroque church in the heart of Prague. So beautiful inside as the outside. Nice place to pray and to visit while in Prague. We were lucky to be here while it was open to public.

    In the Castle complex, the Lobkowicz Palace has been turned into a museum. It’s a fairly nice palace, not at the top tier, though. The collection of paintings mainly includes pictures of the inhabitants through the centuries. If you read about them, it was a somewhat interesting history, but as artwork, well let’s just say after probably 40, 50 portraits, it’s gets a little tedious. The rest of the collection is pretty nice. We probably spent more time than we should have, but what made the visit truly worthwhile was the view of Prague from the balcony. Wow, spectacular is probably understated. I told the worker in the room where the balcony was attached that it was probably the best view of a city I ever saw. Her response, that’s what almost everyone says. We probably stayed gawking at that view for 15, maybe 20 minutes. Then we went down to the cafe balcony downstairs for a nice, but lesser view. If you go to the Castle complex and of course you will, then you really need to see the view, if not the museum. It’s trip malpractice not to.

    The Obecni Dum was the highlight of my recent visit to Prague. The guided tour showed us all sorts of interesting and beautiful details inside this stunning theatre. English-language tours are conducted regularly, but seldom, and we simply were lucky that we were there at the right time to join one after enjoying some cake in the cafe beforehand. I highly recommend touring the theatre, followed by a visit to the iMucha exhibition.

    Amazing neighborhood around and below Prague Castle; the architecture and all the colors of the buildings is stunning. Just wandering around the town and looking at all the architectural designs are worth the trip to Prague.
