  • The Spanish Synagogue was built in 1868 on the site of the oldest Prague Jewish house of prayer ("the Old Shul"). It was designed in a Moorish style by Vojtěch Ignátz Ullmann. The synagogue has a regular square plan with a large dome surmounting the central space. On three sides there are galleries on metal structures, which fully open onto the nave. The remarkable interior decoration features a low stucco arabesque of stylized Islamic motifs which are also applied to the walls, doors and gallery balustrades.

  • Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is noted for its buildings in shades of blue. Founded in 1471 Chefchaouen served as fortress for exiles from Spain. Over the centuries, the city grew and welcomed Jews. Chefchaouen's blue buildings have more religious  than stylistic reasons. Jewish teachers suggest that by dyeing thread with tekhelel (an ancient natural dye) and weaving it into prayer shawls, people would be reminded of God’s power.
