Old Town Square - Prague - Czech
The Spanish Synagogue was built in 1868 on the site of the oldest Prague Jewish house of prayer (""the Old School"") in a Moorish style to a design by Vojtech Ignßtz Ullmann. The synagogue has a square ground-plan with a copula above the central area. The gallery is buil on an iron structure. The stucco arabesque and stylised oriental motifs of the interior are also applied on the walls and in the adornment of the doors, balustrades and gallery. The coloured window panes and interior decoration were designed by architects A. Baum and B. Munzberg and completed in 1893. FrantiÜek èkroup, the composer of the Czech national anthem, was the organist here in the years 1836 - 45. The most significant square of historical Prague. It originated in the 12th century and since then witnessed many events. Beside the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Tyn the square has several other dominants, the baroque St. Nicholas church (K. I. Dienzenhofer, 1732 - 1735), the rococo Kinsky palace housing the National Gallery graphic collection, the Stone Bell house - a gothic city palace from the 14th century - now the Municipal Gallery concert and exhibition rooms, and the Memorial to Master Jan Hus sculptured by Ladislav Saloun (1915). The very place where the 27 Czech gentlemen were executed on 21 June, 1621, is marked in the square pavement. The Prague merdidian can be seen not far from there.
