A very important part of the Old Town is an old Jewish Ghetto that is not completed any more and only some few interesting buildings remained. But you can still feel the unique atmosphere of this place. Very precious and unusual architecture you can see on the House of Ceremony, now Jewish Museum, where lived in the beginning of 17th century Rabbi Low, who was the head of Talmudic school and his name is connected with many Prague legends and mystic stories.
There is also an Old-New Synagogue in Gothic from 13th century, an oldest synagogue to have been preserved in Central Europe and the Jewish cemetery, a memorable place of artistically and historically precious gravestones founded in the beginning of 15th century.
