Prague’s Spanish Synagogue reopens for public

The Spanish Synagogue, one of the most visited historic sights in Prague, reopens to the public on Wednesday. The monument, built in the late 1860s in the Moorish style, has been closed since June2019 due to renovation.

The renovation works, which cost several dozen million crowns, included the construction of new visitor facilities and barrier-free access. The synagogue will also house a new exhibition mapping the history of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia over the past two centuries.

The sight will have to close again on Friday along with other museums and galleries in the Czech Republic due to the worsening epidemiological situation.
