Spanish by name, Prague by address. And quite the architectural show-off. 😏
🇪🇸 But why Spanish, when it has no direct connection to Spain?
The answer lies in its spectacular Moorish-inspired architecture, influenced by the famous Alhambra in Granada. Built in 1868 on the site of one of Prague's oldest Jewish houses of prayer, it's actually the youngest synagogue in the historic Jewish Quarter. And clearly, it had something to prove. 👀
But here’s the curious part: while historic European synagogues often kept a low profile on the outside, this one certainly didn’t get the memo. ✨
🏛️ Its striking façade is just the beginning though – step inside to discover dazzling golden ornaments, intricate patterns, and a magnificent dome.
So why all the extravagance? And what does it tell us about Prague's Jewish community in the 19th century?
🔎 Curious about the answers?
Join our Prague Old Town, New Town & Jewish Quarter Tour, where we stop at the Spanish Synagogue and uncover the stories hiding behind Prague's remarkable façades.
