Pinkas Synagogue
Prague, Czech Republic
45
min visit
This haunting 16th-century synagogue serves as a living memorial to Czech Jewish victims of the Holocaust, with thousands of names inscribed on its interior walls. The building's modest Renaissance facade belies the profound emotional weight of stepping inside, where visitors encounter one of Europe's most moving tributes to those lost. Now part of the Jewish Museum in Prague, the Pinkas Synagogue stands as both a place of worship and a solemn testament to resilience.
