"It is the last synagogue built in the capital of the Czech Republic, and is considered the most beautiful in the Jewish quarter of Prague.
The name Spanish Synagogue derives from the suggestive Moorish-style decor of its interior, for which architects Antonín Baum and Bedřich Münzberge were inspired by the famous Alhambra in Granada.

"Jews are believed to have settled in Prague as early as the 10th century and the population remains pretty high even through some terrible times. The Jewish Museum is spectacular and I think worth a visit not only for the memory of the atrocities that happened but also for the building itself. - Another David Cerny is the front. "

"A former Conservative Jewish synagogue in Prague's Jewish Town, it was built in the Moorish Revival style in 1868 on the site of the Old School (Altschul), believed to be the oldest synagogue. The Jewish Museum in Prague has managed the site since it was permanently converted into a museum in 1955."
