The Jewish Quarter (Josefov)

On our 3rd day in Prague, we started by visiting the Jewish Quarter, also known as Josefov,  a former Jewish ghetto. The name Josefov was derived from Emperor Josef II who improved the lives of the Jews. Here, the mystical Golem and the spirit of Franz Kafka live on.




The Jewish Museum is a complex of buildings consist of the cemetery, ceremonial hall and the synagogues.
