5th Quarter Restaurant, #Josefov, Prague, Czech Republic by OBJECTUM @objectum_architecture_interior. Read more: Link in bio! Photography: Tomáš Slavík @tomasslavik_photography. OBJECTUM: The name of the restaurant is 5th quarter. There is a long story connected to it and that formed the interior design. We have been asked by the owners to change their Jewish restaurant with long tradition in Josefov quarter in the hear of the Prague city. The restaurant had a long tradition of serving kosher food, but the interior was rather dated out of current trends. Also, the time when the food concept was going to change to more modern version of still kosher cuisine, came. They shed off their old name King Solomon and change to 5th Quarter… #prague #czechrepublic #архитектура www.amazingarchitecture.com ✔ A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography ‎#معماری (at Josefov, Prague) https://www.instagram.com/p/CovdhKXsfTn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Spanish Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי) is the newest synagogue in the area of the so-called Jewish Town in Prague Josefov, yet paradoxically, it was built at the place of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (also known as Altshul). Španělská synagoga (původně Templ v Dušní ulici) je nejmladší synagogou v tzv. židovském městě na pražském Josefově. Byla postavena v maurském slohu. Die Spanische Synagoge ist eine Synagoge im Stadtteil Josefstadt in Prag. Sie wurde in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im maurischen Stil erbaut. La synagogue espagnole a été construite en 1868 à l'emplacement de la plus ancienne synagogue Altshul de Prague qui datait du XIIe siècle et qui a été détruite en 1867. Elle a été conçue dans un style mauresque. Испанская синагога — одна из синагог еврейского квартала Йозефов, достопримечательность города Праги. Своё название получила благодаря тому, что построена в неомавританском стиле.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits shows in the interior of the Old New Synagogue, Prague.

It is actually a web-pic, rather than one I took (photography not permitted when I visited).

Note the double nave and the five-ribbed vaulting (books of the Torah).

To the left is the entrance to women's section. The basket of railings shows the location of the bimah.

Completed in 1270, the building was designed by Christian architects and shows many standard Gothic traits.

"Restaurant at the Old Synagogue"

Located in Josefov in Prague, Czech Republic.

Josefov (also Jewish Quarter; German: Josefstadt) is a town quarter and the smallest cadastral area of Prague, Czech Republic, formerly the Jewish ghetto of the town.

In 1850, the quarter was renamed "Josefstadt" (Joseph's City) after Joseph II who emancipated Jews with the Toleration Edict in 1781. Two years before Jews were allowed to settle outside of the city, so the share of the Jewish population in Josefov decreased, while only orthodox and poor Jews remained living there.

Most of the quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913 as part of an initiative to model the city on Paris. What was left were only six synagogues, the old cemetery, and the Old Jewish Town Hall (now all part of the Jewish Museum in Prague )

As all Josefov was re-built at the beginning of the 20th century, nowadays the dominant architectural style there is Art Nouveau.
