CAROLINUM

The Carolinum is the seat of the Prague University which was founded on April 7th 1348 by Charles IV and therefore bears his name. The core of the Carolinum is formed by the Gothic Rotlev house from the 3rd quarter of the 14th century, which king Wenceslas IV acquired and donated to Charles’ college. The building has great historical...

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK PRAGUE

The astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square is one of Prague’s greatest attractions. According to legends, it was constructed by Master Hanuš. He was blinded by order of the town council so that he could not create such a masterpiece elsewhere. The story says an apprentice accompanied Master Hanuš, who was...

MAISEL SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE

The Maisel Synagogue is one of the several preserved synagogues of the Prague Jewish Quarter. The original building from the years 1590-1592 had three naves divided by twenty pillars. Side naves for women were later built onto the main nave accessible only to men. Between the years 1893-1905 the synagogue was reconstructed by the architect...

PINKAS SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE

Archaeological findings of remnants of foundation stones prove that the oldest building standing in this location was built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. It must have been one of the oldest, if not the oldest, synagogues in Prague. As an old Hebrew memorial tablet testifies, in 1535 Žalman Hořovský, known as Munka, built a...

KLAUS SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE

The Baroque building of the Klaus Synagogue in Prague was built in the 17th century in the place where the Rabbi Löw taught at the turn of the 16th and 17th century. Today the synagogue houses a permanent exhibition on Jewish traditions and customs, which remain a mirror of the Jewish past. The entrance into the exhibition is lined with...

SPANISH SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE

A synagogue, later called the Old School, stood in this location as early as the 12th century. It received its present name at the beginning of the 16th century, when a group of Jews fleeing from the Spanish Catholic inquisition came to Prague. They belonged to the so-called Sephardic Jews, whose rituals differ slightly from those of the Ashkenazy...

OLD JEWISH CEMETERY PRAGUE

Today it is the oldest unharmed Jewish cemetery as it survived the Nazi occupation unscathed. The cemetery was founded in the first half of the 15th century. The oldest tombstone, bearing the date of April 25th 1439, is that of Avigdor Kara, a scholar and poet who survived the pogrom of 1389 and wrote an elegy in memory of its victims. The charm...
