Jewish life and culture has edged itself deeply into the past and present face
of the city. Since the ninth century Jewish merchants have lived in and been
active in the city and a Jewish community has existed here at least since the
12 th century. On this tour you will visit one of the oldest Synagogues in Europe
(approx. 1270) where you will be able to marvel at the interior of the gothic
Old New Synagogue. You will visit the grave of the Rabbi Loew, who, according
to legend, created a Golem to protect the Jews of the Prague ghetto. His grave
is in the Olsanské, the old Jewish cemetery that contains over ten thousand
grave stones...
