Main description
The Spanish Synagogue lies in the heart of Prague’s Jewish Quarter and is noted for its unique architecture, which blends Arabian and Andalusian influences. The whole building is profusely decorated with arabesques, and the large hall, glittering with gold, adds a fairy-tale atmosphere to a concert.
