The Jewish Museum in Prague is also the largest institution of its kind in Europe and cares for one of the largest collections of Judaica in the world. It contains nearly 40,000 items and 100,000 books from Bohemia and Moravia. Exposure located in historic synagogues served coherent picture of the history of Jews in our region. Monuments are within the preserved parts of the former Jewish Town in the historical center of Prague, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

What is Prague Jewish quarter, Supreme Prague
What is Prague Jewish quarter? Why is the area called Josefov, where do you find it? When did Jews live in this area? How big is the current Jewish community?
All together there is no Jewish quarter today in Prague - designated area mostly populated by Jews. In Prague city center we find area called Josefov, a new area built between 1897-1914 mostly. So the old Jewish ghetto was torn down and rebuilt. However, in the area we find the old buildings remaining from the old ghetto - synagogues, cemetery, and town hall. You can visit most of the old sites - it is the Jewish museum.
Visit the Jewish quarter on guided tour with Supreme Prague:

Inside the Spanish Synagogue (Španělská synagoga) Prague, Czech Republic
The Spanish Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי, Czech: Španělská synagoga, German: Spanische Synagoge) is a Moorish Revival synagogue built in Prague in 1868 to the design of Vojtěch Ignátz Ullmann.
The facade copies the form of the Leopoldstädter Tempel, built in Vienna, Austria, in 1853, a tripartite facade with a tall central section flanked by lower wings on each side. As in Vienna, the central section is topped by a pair of domed turrets.
The synagogue is most remarkable for the elaborate style of the interior, every surface is covered by elaborate Islamic-style polychrome and gilded patterns, some painted and some carved or molded.
During the Second World War, the Germans used the building as a repository for property taken from the Jews. The building underwent a restoration in the late 1990s.
The building is owned by the Jewish Museum of Prague, and is used as a museum and concert hall.
Despite its name, the synagogue was never used by a Spanish or Sephardic congregation: it was in fact an early Reform temple. There are two theories to account for the synagogue's name.
The Moorish architectural style may have been found reminiscent of the Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain.
The synagogue was on the site of the city's most ancient synagogue, which may originally have been used by Byzantine Jews. Some awareness of this fact may have given rise to the legend of a historic Sephardic community.
Old Jewish Cemetery, Prague
Video of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague (Czech Republic), at least 600 years old, with some 12,000 grave stones visible over a dozen subterranean layers of tombs. While the Nazis usually destroyed and desecrated Jewish cemeteries, they preserved this site, expecting to convert it into a museum exhibit of an extinct race after all Jews had been exterminated.
