Josefov, Prague's historic Jewish quarter, preserves centuries of heritage between the Old Town and the Vltava. It features the 13th-century Old-New Synagogue, Europe's oldest active Jewish house of worship, famously tied to the Golem legend. The Old Jewish Cemetery holds thousands of layered headstones, including Rabbi Loew's grave, while the Pinkas Synagogue honours Holocaust victims and the Spanish Synagogue dazzles with Moorish gold.
