The Spanish Synagogue sits on the site formerly held by the first such religious building in the city. When that got too small and old, it was demolished and replaced by this structure in 1868. It stayed open until 1982, when years of neglect took a tool.
Luckily, after the Velvet Revolution the synagogue was restored and was once again open in 1998. There are exhibits about Jewish history in the region. The inside of the building probably is the main attraction, though, as it is elegant and beautiful.
