Prague has had a vibrant Jewish community since the 10th century. With time and increasing antisemitism, however, the community was concentrated within the walled ghetto, which centuries later became known as Josefov, Jewish Quarter, or Josefstad. This largely demolished area, surrounded by the Old Town , is a site of great tragedy, but also of history, culture and great architecture. It’s home to a number of significant monuments, many of which are now a part of the Jewish Museum in Prague. The Jewish Quarter (Josefov) in Prague is located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Prague and is known for its well-preserved Jewish heritage such as the Old Jewish Cemetery: One of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe and one of the most important Jewish historical monuments in Prague.
