Breathtaking Jerusalem Synagogue is the youngest and largest synagogue in Prague

Jubilee (better known as "Jerusalem") Synagogue is located in the Prague centre and is the youngest and largest synagogue in Prague. It was built in 1906 in ornamental Moorish and Art Nouveau style. The dominant feature on the front of the building is a monumental arch covering rosette window with the David´s star.

The Hebrew inscriptions above the entrance say: “This is the Lord's gate. The righteous shall enter through it." and "Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us?" Inside we can admire a stunning interior, richly decorated and painted in deep colours, with wrought chandeliers and beautiful organ.

Nowadays, worships in Orthodox rite are carried out in Jerusalem Synagogue, and regular organ concerts and classical concerts are held here.
