Imagine visiting a ghetto that witnessed a cultural and financial peak until it was tore down to its ruins by the Nazi camp for their pseudo ideas. The Josefov or the Jewish Quarter , a town quarter and the smallest cadastral area of Prague is one of the few such places where Jews settled around the 13th century.

Until 1893, the quarter experienced a prosperous trend due to the initiative taken by the then Jewish Mayor Mordecai Maisel who later on became the Minister of Finance. In 1850 the quarter was renamed to "Josefstadt" (Joseph's City) after Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor but many of the Jews were allowed to settle in other parts of the city resulting in only a few remaining back in the ghetto.
