About Josefov (Jewish Quarter)

Josefov, the Jewish Quarter, is the smallest cadastral area of Prague and was formerly the town's Jewish ghetto. It is surrounded by the Old Town. In 1850 it was renamed Josefstadt after Emperor Joseph II, and most of the quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913. What remained were six synagogues, the old cemetery and the Old Jewish Town Hall, which are now all part of the Jewish Museum in Prague.
