Jewish Quarter
Jewish Quarter
Jewish buildings are concentrated on the west side of Paris Street, and walking in the Jewish area, commonly known as the Right Bank, you can clearly feel the difference in the building signs. For example, the six-pointed star symbol appears on the wall, also known as the shield of David, as long as you see the six-pointed star symbol on the building, it means that this is a place full of Jewish culture.
Maiselova Synagoga Compared with other synagogues, this Maiselova Synagoga is slightly more imposing, originally built at the expense of the Jewish elder Moses and named after him.
The Old New Synagogue (German: Altneuschule, Altneusynagoge; Czech: Staronová Synagoga) is located in the Jewish Quarter (Josefov) of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, and is the oldest synagogue still in use in Europe[1] and the oldest surviving medieval synagogue with a double-hall design[2].
The Old New Synagogue was completed in 1270 in the Gothic style and is one of the earliest Gothic buildings in Prague. An older synagogue in Prague, called the Old Synagogue, was demolished in 1867 and replaced by the Spanish Synagogue.
Klausová synagoga is a synagogue in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, located at the entrance to the Old Jewish Cemetery in Josef City. It is a Baroque building built from 1689 to 1694 to replace the Renaissance synagogue that burned down in 1689. Its name comes from the German word "Klaus", which is translated from the Latin word claustrum, which means "small house". Originally in 1573, Mordecai Moses funded the construction of three smaller buildings for the ghetto, namely his own synagogue, the Talmud school, and the cemetery. The existing building was rebuilt in the 1880s. Currently, the Prague Jewish Museum has a permanent exhibition on "Jewish Customs and Traditions" here.
It takes about two or three hours to visit the Jewish Quarter, and then you will encounter the Vltava River along the route of the map. This direction will pass through the Mánes Bridge, which is another angle to take pictures of the Charles Bridge, and there is a flock of swans under the bridge, because the scenery is so beautiful, people often take wedding photos here, and then you can walk along the river to the Charles Bridge and walk around the small town.

After dinner, I went to Charles Bridge to take a few night shots on the bridge, and the camera shooting settings used F-stop: f/8 Exposure Time: 5 sec ISO: 100 Focal legth: 24mm, in order to shoot night scenes, you need to bring a tripod, the camera is already very heavy and it is really hard to carry a tripod throughout the whole process, but as long as you can take one or two beautiful photos, all the hard work is worth it.
After taking pictures of the night view, it was already late at night, and after a long day of travel, you can go back to the B&B to take a good rest, and end today's trip in the night view of Charles Bridge.
