Old-New Synagogue
The name sounds strange for a building from the 13th century but it was called 'New' to distinguish it from an even older synagogue. This was replaced by the Spanish Synagogue in the 17th century, when the Old-New Synagogue acquired its current name. It is rumoured to be the resting place of the famed Prague Golem.
