Inspired by Granada's Alhambra, the Spanish Synagogue holds the distinction of being the most recently built synagogue in Prague's Jewish Quarter. While the Spanish Synagogue may be new by Prague's standards, the opulent place of worship actually completed construction in 1868, on the site of a 12th-century synagogue. The Spanish Synagogue operates as part of the Jewish Museum in Prague, so two permanent exhibitions, which focus on the history of Jews in Bohemian lands and showcase silver artifacts, are also on display.

The Moorish-style of the synagogue, as well as its beautiful interior, stuns recent visitors. They recommend visiting for an evening concert (the composer of the Czech national anthem once served as organist here) for a near-ethereal experience thanks to the building's excellent acoustics and elaborate design.

Admission to the synagogue, included in the self-guided tours of both the Jewish Museum (six sites) and Prague Jewish Town (all of the Jewish museum plus the Old-New Synagogue), costs, respectively, 400 koruna (about $17) and 550 (about $23) for adults, with discounts available for children. The Spanish Synagogue opens at 9 a.m. Sunday to Friday and closes at 4:30 p.m. late October to late March. From late March to late October it closes at 6 p.m. Concerts typically start at 5:30 p.m. and require tickets. The synagogue is closed on Jewish holidays and Saturdays. The Spanish Synagogue is accessible via the Staromestská station of the metro A or the Právnická fakulta stop of tram No. 17.
