Old New Synagogue

The Old New Synagogue, located in Prague, Czech Republic, is one of the oldest surviving synagogues in Europe, dating back to the 13th century. It served as a central place of worship for the Jewish community for centuries and is a fine example of medieval Gothic architecture. The building features historical artifacts, a unique medieval clock, and a famous 15th-century Torah ark. Today, it functions as both a synagogue and a museum, offering insight into Jewish history and culture in Prague, and is a symbol of the city’s rich multicultural heritage.
