Josefov, Historic Jewish quarter in Staré Město, Prague, Czech Republic.

The district contains six synagogues, including the Old-New Synagogue from 1270 and the Spanish Synagogue with its Moorish-style interior design.

The quarter evolved from a Jewish settlement in the 13th century and underwent major renovations during the late 19th century urban planning initiatives.

The Jewish Museum network within Josefov presents collections of Jewish ceremonial artifacts, textiles, manuscripts, and documentation of religious traditions.

Multiple ticket options grant access to different combinations of synagogues, the cemetery, and exhibitions throughout the Jewish Museum complex.

The Old Jewish Cemetery contains over 12,000 visible tombstones, with graves layered up to 12 deep due to space limitations.
