The history of the Jewish Quarter dates back to the 13th century. Exactly at that time Prague authorities forcibly relocated all Jews to a city district and fenced it with a high wall. It was the beginning of a new ghetto for Jews who were deprived of rights that people of Prague had. The whole life of the Jewish community and development of their national culture took place there.
The people of Prague were so curious about the life of the quarter. Unknown words, strange names and architecture… synagogues, unusual clothes and language beyond understanding – all these things aroused genuine interest to the life of the Josefov Quarter. Actually, the fifth quarter was named after him. It was Josef who sought reforms and introduced religious tolerance which allowed the quarter people to move freely in 1848 – they could leave the ghetto.
The relocation of rich Jews to Prague marked the beginning of the fifth quarter decay. When fighting poor sanitation city authorities demolished a significant number of buildings and narrow streets. Today the Josefov Quarter contains Jewish monuments known all over the world. Torah – Pentateuch that is so holy for Jews – can be found in one of the synagogues there. The tourists are also interested in the Old Jewish Cemetery, where people of the Quarter had to bury their deceased layer by layer; the remains of many Jewish celebrities are at this cemetery. You will learn more about this unique place during our tour held on daily basis; the tour lasts for 2 hours.
