Jewish historical landmarks around country opened to public

Jewish historical landmarks around Czechia that are normally closed to the public have held special open days on Sunday. Some 55 sites that are usually shut or have been renovated in recent years welcomed visitors during the sixth edition of the Day of Jewish Historical Landmarks.

The places have included a synagogue in Časlav and Jewish cemeteries in Litomyšl, Kolín and Polná. The only landmark opened in Prague has been the Jerusalem Synagogue.
