Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Jewish Quarter, also known as the Joseph Quarter, was named after King Joseph II. There are unique old Jewish cemeteries here, with thousands of tombstones in Renaissance and Baroque styles. The famous writer Franz Kafka's residence and birthplace are also here. There are many attractions in the Jewish Quarter, including Pincus Synagogue, Clausen Synagogue, Mercer Synagogue, Old and New Synagogue, Spanish Synagogue, and Jewish Quarter City Hall. The Jewish Quarter has existed since the 11th century and has always been considered a ghetto, with poor public facilities and sanitation. In 1890, the Prague government ordered to rectify the environment of the Jewish quarter. At that time, it was the era when the Art Nouveau style prevailed. Therefore, many new art forms and simple-style buildings came into being.

The whole building of the Jewish Quarter is very old-fashioned, and it is also a gathering place for foreigners. Many Jewish buildings and museums are distributed here, and there are many foreign food stores in the Jewish Quarter.
Because there are Jews in the work company, if you go out to travel, you will pay special attention to Jewish attractions. It is very quiet and there are not many tourists, but you need to buy tickets if you go in the Jewish Museum.
The Jewish quarter is not far from the streets of Paris, which is commonly known as a luxury street. It can be seen that the environment here is very good, and there are not many tourists. I feel that this place is very clean and there are few people. You can take a good stroll. Of course, the premise is that you are more interested in Jewish history.
The Jewish Quarter is located in the Old Town, an area where Jews lived in Prague during the 13th century when they were separated and expelled. Among the Jewish quarters are the oldest synagogue in Europe, the Old New synagogue, built in 1270, and the Jewish Museum consisting of the Magels synagogue, the Spanish synagogue, the Pincus synagogue, the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Klaus synagogue. The residence and birthplace of the famous writer Franz Kafka is also in the area. Thousands of tombstones in the old Jewish cemetery are Renaissance and Baroque.
It was the first time that I had a thorough understanding of Judaism and Jews. Judaism was the earliest origin, but now Israel is the only country in the Middle East, and he is surrounded by a group of Islamic states. Four synagogues outlined the history of Jews in Central Europe, the marriage and funeral customs of Judaism, the restoration of Jewish social status after World War II, and the list of Jews who were persecuted during World War II. The cemetery has thousands of gravestones, which are quite heavy.
The Jewish Quarter of Prague is an important commercial district in Prague, the old European city, and a place where Jews live. The paths are rugged with slate paths, and the sides of which are filled with shops and restaurants. Walking here can truly appreciate that the culture of the European hinterland is definitely a must-come place to come to Prague.
The Jewish district, also known as Joseph City, is the smallest city in Prague, the Czech capital. The area is completely surrounded by the old city of Prague, which is usually represented by the flag of the Jewish community in Prague, the Yellow Star of David on the red ground. There are synagogues and Jewish cemeteries. They are tourist Jewish settlements in Prague.
Before the founding of Israel, the Jewish nation had no country of its own, but it had its own ethnic agglomeration areas all over the world. There is a Jewish District in the old city of Prague, which is said to be the most valuable Jewish historical Memorial in the world. The existing Gothic old and new synagogues are the oldest cathedrals in Europe. Prague has too many attractions to be distracted. It was only on the way to the Old Town Square by the river that I saw a beautiful house. A group of people gathered around to take pictures and asked about it. Then I knew that it was a synagogue in the Jewish suburbs. I joined the people who took pictures. Looking back, Fang realized that the beautiful house was a Jewish hotel, while the neglected simple house next to it was a synagogue.
