Jewish Museum in Prague. Spanish Synagogue. The Spanish Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי, Czech: Španělská synagogue) is a synagogue located in Prague's Josefov neighborhood and inspired by Viennese Leopoldstädter Tempel Synagogue. His name is probably due to the fact that it presents a Moorish style very similar to that developed in Spanish monuments such as the Alhambra. It was built between 1868-1893 and repaired in the 1990s after the Nazi occupation of World War II, in which the building was used as a storehouse for goods confiscated from Jews.
