The Spanish Synagogue is the "youngest" synagogue in Prague. It was built on the site of the oldest Jewish house of worship, called the Old School, in 1867. The architectural composition of the synagogue is made in the Moorish style, which distinguishes it from other temples. The construction of the synagogue lasted for 25 years, in the design of the building and interior design involved prominent architects of the time - Ullmann Wojciech Ignac, Guido Bielski, Baum and Munzberg. In the 16th century, a group of Sephardic Jews from Spain arrived in Prague to escape persecution by the Spanish Inquisition.→
