Josefov (Jewish Quarter)

Josefov

Prague, Czech Republic

One of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe, with six historic synagogues and the medieval Old Jewish Cemetery — where layers of graves are stacked 12 deep. The quarter dates to the 13th century and survived the Nazi occupation, preserved as a 'museum of an extinct race'. UNESCO World Heritage Site.
