Prague: The Spanish Synagogue

From Germany we went to Prague in Czechia (another name for the Czech Republic). After getting settled in our hotel, we met with a Tours by Locals guide to explore some of the important Jewish sites in the city. Perhaps most impressive, though not necessarily most important, was the Spanish Synagogue.  

From Wikipedia: "The Spanish Synagogue is the newest synagogue in the area of the so-called Jewish Town; it was in fact built at the site of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (also known as Altshul). The synagogue is built in Moorish Revival Style. ... Today, the Spanish Synagogue is administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague."

The Spanish Synagogue is so elaborate, so beautiful, and so sumptuous, that I feel it deserves several postings here, which will be forthcoming over the next few days.
