The Old New Synagogue (Czech: Staronová synagoga) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Josefov, Prague, in the Czech Republic. The synagogue is Europe's oldest active synagogue. Completed in 1270, it is also the oldest surviving medieval synagogue of twin-nave design. Point of view is Maiselova. <br /> <br /> <u>Josefov</u><br /> Josefov (also Jewish Quarter; German: Josefstadt) is a town quarter and the smallest cadastral area of Prague, Czech Republic, formerly the Jewish ghetto of the town. It is surrounded by the Old Town. The quarter is often represented by the flag of Prague's Jewish community, a yellow Magen David (Star of David) on a red field. <br /> <br /> Jews are believed to have settled in Prague as early as the 10th century. The first pogrom was in 1096 (the first crusade) and eventually they were concentrated within a walled Ghetto. In 1262, Přemysl Otakar II issued a Statuta Judaeorum which granted the community a degree of self-administration. The ghetto was most prosperous towards the end of the 16th century when the Jewish Mayor, Mordecai Maisel, became the Minister of Finance and a very wealthy man. His money helped develop the ghetto.<br /> <br /> In 1850, the quarter was renamed &quot;Josefstadt&quot; (Joseph's City) after Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor who emancipated Jews with the Edict of Tolerance in 1782. Two years before Jews were allowed to settle outside of the city, so the share of the Jewish population in Josefov decreased, while only Orthodox and poor Jews remained living there.<br /> <br /> Most of the quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913 as part of an initiative to model the city on Paris. What was left were only six synagogues, the old cemetery, and the Old Jewish Town Hall (now all part of the Jewish Museum in Prague and described below).<br /> <br /> <br /> Narrow streets of the ghetto, demolished between 1893 and 1913<br /> Currently Josefov is overbuilt with buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, so it is difficult to appreciate exactly what the old quarter was like when it was reputed to have over 18,000 inhabitants. Medieval Josefov is depicted in the 1920 film The Golem, composed of cramped, angular, squinted buildings, but this impression is used purely to convey the expressionist nature of the film.<br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josefov" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Josefos</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/148053209@N03/">RJX 165</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/148053209@N03/55198943731/" title="PID T3M2 8074 à Prague Karlovo náměstí"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55198943731_36d42fd84c_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="PID T3M2 8074 à Prague Karlovo náměstí" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jedi58/">JeDi58</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jedi58/55196579247/" title="20260401125157-034A4046"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55196579247_16d48beaa5_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="20260401125157-034A4046" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jedi58/">JeDi58</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jedi58/55197465091/" title="Praha-Smíchov sev.n."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55197465091_37bce8c651_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Praha-Smíchov sev.n." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jedi58/">JeDi58</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jedi58/55197718629/" title="Powder Gate Tower"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55197718629_01e75738cb_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Powder Gate Tower" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/24842486@N07/">e r j k . a m e r j k a</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24842486@N07/55187528751/" title="Let&#039;s go! | Czechia | Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55187528751_2627320529_m.jpg" width="178" height="240" alt="Let&#039;s go! | Czechia | Prague" /></a></p> <p>Czech Republic | Prague | Street scene.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dickdapre/">RLD1877</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dickdapre/55187919129/" title="D0-T127-13(c)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55187919129_fb37e9c781_m.jpg" width="240" height="166" alt="D0-T127-13(c)" /></a></p> <p>• Location: Nuselský most (Nusle bridge)<br /> • Date: 1977<br /> • The bridge was originally named after Czech politician Klement Gottwald.

Until 1997, the cathedral was dedicated only to Saint Vitus, and is still commonly named only as St. Vitus Cathedral.<br /> <br /> This cathedral is a prominent example of Gothic architecture, and is the largest and most important church in the country. Located within Prague Castle and containing the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman Emperors, the cathedral is under the ownership of the Czech government as part of the Prague Castle complex.<br /> <br /> The current cathedral is the third of a series of religious buildings at the site, all dedicated to St. Vitus. The first church was an early Romanesque rotunda founded by Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia in 930. This patron saint was chosen because Wenceslaus had acquired a holy relic – the arm of St. Vitus – from Emperor Henry I. Two religious populations, the increasing Christian and decreasing pagan community, lived simultaneously in Prague castle at least until the 11th century.<br /> <br /> In the year 1060 construction was begun on a more spacious church, as it became clear the existing rotunda was too small to accommodate the faithful. A much larger and more representative Romanesque basilica was built in its spot. <br /> <br /> Construction of the present-day Gothic cathedral began in 1344 and continued with additions until the 19th century.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/96541566@N06/">Juhele_CZ</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96541566@N06/55177161402/" title="2023-08-30_CZ_11-48-21_K_JH"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55177161402_4c3fc8a710_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="2023-08-30_CZ_11-48-21_K_JH" /></a></p> <p>Hostivařská přehrada / Hostivař dam<br /> author: Jan Helebrant<br /> location: Praha, Czech Republic<br /> remark: GPS location not always precise<br /> <a href="http://www.juhele.blogspot.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.juhele.blogspot.com</a><br /> license CC0 Public Domain Dedication</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/juhanyman/">Juha Nyman</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/juhanyman/55174810119/" title="20260318_165932_1"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55174810119_feb46dce3e_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="20260318_165932_1" /></a></p>
