Old New Synagogue (Staronová Synagoga)

Completed around 1270, the Old-New Synagogue (Staronová Synagoga) stands as Europe’s oldest still-working synagogue and one of Prague’s first Gothic buildings. Nestled in the Jewish Quarter of Josefov, this historic structure serves as the main synagogue for the city’s Jewish community. Visitors can explore its well-preserved interior, which features a vaulted ceiling and a bimah, the platform from which the Torah is read. The synagogue’s enduring presence offers a tangible link to the rich history and traditions of Prague’s Jewish heritage.
