Archaeological findings of remnants of foundation stones prove that the oldest building standing in this location was built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style.

SPANISH SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE
SPANISH SYNAGOGUE PRAGUE
A synagogue, later called the Old School, stood in this location as early as the 12th century. It received its present name at the beginning of the 16th century, when a group of Jews fleeing from the Spanish Catholic inquisition came to Prague.
