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.

From Náměstí Republiky, the Republic Square, we walk south past the St. Henry's Tower to the Jerusalem Synagogue, also known as Jubilee Synagogue. The Jerusalem Synagogue, a building in Art Nouveau style, lies in the New Town of Prague. Originally, Josefov, a quarter north of the old town, was the Jewish Town. In 1948, one granted civil rights to Jews in Prague. There upon many people moved to other areas and the buildings decayed. Between 1893 and 1913, one tor off most of the neighborhood and rebuilt new houses, based on the model of Paris.
Since some synagogues were also torn down, one planned a new one. A specially founded association acquired a piece of land in Jerusalem Street. The Jewish architect Wilhelm Stiassny from Vienna planned and Alois Richter executed the construction. Moorish and oriental style elements labeled into the design.
The long interior forms of a three-aisled basilica. The side aisles are separated by arcades. On the upper floor is a gallery with a photo exhibition.
Among other things, you see the keystone certificate of Emperor Franz Josef I here. The Torah shrine is closed with a gilded door. Splendid stained glass windows complete the magnificent colorful building.
The entrance fee is CZK 80 (€ 3,12 per person).
On the way back we come again to the St. Henry's Tower, built from 1472 - 1475. With a height of 65.7 meters, it is the highest freestanding bell tower in Prague. Originally it was a church tower, but due to the separation of the church, one gave up the church use. A carillon in the roof of the tower can only be heard inside the tower. Today there are cafes, restaurants, a gallery, and a viewing platform in the tower.
We also pass the Republic Square with the Municipal Hall and the Powder Tower again, before we go to the monument to Franz Kafka. It shows Franz Kafka on the shoulders of a headless man. The artwork was created by Jaroslav Róna.
Behind is the Jewish Museum and the Spanish Synagogue.

Vom Platz der Republik gehen wir in Richtung Süden, vorbei am Heinrichsturm zur Jerusalemsynagoge.
Die Jerusalemsynagoge, eine Synagoge im Jugendstil, liegt in der Prager Neustadt.
Ursprünglich war die Josefstadt im Norden der Altstadt das Jüdische Viertel. 1948 wurden den Juden in Prag die Bürgerrechte verliehen. Im Anschluss daran zogen viele in andere Viertel und die Häuser verfielen. Zwischen 1893 und 1913 wurde ein Großteil des Viertels abgerissen und durch neue Häuser nach Pariser Vorbild ersetzt.
Da auch einige Synagogen abgerissen wurden, plante man einen Neubau. Ein speziell dafür gegründeter Verein erwarb ein Grundstück in der Jerusalemer Straße. Geplant wurde der Bau von dem Architekten Wilhelm Stiassny aus Wien. Alois Richter führte den Bau aus. Maurische und orientalische Stilelemente flossen in die Gestaltung mit ein.
Der langgezogene Innenraum besteht aus einer dreischiffigen Basilika. Die Seitenschiffe sind durch Arkaden abgetrennt. Im ersten Stock ist eine Galerie, auf der eine Fotoausstellung arrangiert wurde.
Unter anderem ist die Schlusssstein-Urkunde von Kaiser Franz Josef I hier ausgestellt. Der Toraschrein ist mit einer vergoldeten Tür verschlossen. Das herrliche farbenfrohe Gebäude wird durch prächtige Buntglasfenster ergänzt.
Der Eintrittspreis beträgt 80 tschechische Kronen ( € 3,12 pro Person ).
Auf dem Rückweg passieren wir wieder den Heinrichsturm, der 1472 -1475 erbaut wurde. Er ist mit einer Höhe von 65.7 Metern der höchste freistehende Prager Glockenturm. Ursprünglich war er ein Kirchenturm, jedoch wurde die kirchliche Nutzung aufgegeben. Ein Glockenspiel im Dach des Turmes ist nur im Inneren des Turmes zu hören. Heute befinden sich Cafes, Restaurants und eine Galerie im Turm.
Auch den Platz der Republik mit dem Gemeindehaus und dem Pulverturm passieren wir noch einmal, bevor wir zum Denkmal für Franz Kafka gehen. Es zeigt Franz Kafka auf den Schultern eines kopflosen Mannes. Das Kunstwerk wurde von Jaroslav Róna geschaffen.
Direkt dahinter befindet sich das Jüdische Museum und die Spanische Synagoge.
