The complex of the Jewish Quarter includes the Old Jewish Cemetery, the Town Hall, the Ceremonial Hall and six synagogues: the Old-New Synagogue, the Pinkas Synagogue, the Maisel Synagogue, the Spanish Synagogue, the Klausen Synagogue and the High Synagogue. The Jewish Quarter arose in the 13th century, but its recent outlooks are given by the great slum clearance and its reconstruction on the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. Although only some of the significant sights with long Jewish history have been preserved, they form one the best-preserved Jewish sights in Europe.
