Spanish Synagogue (Prague)
The Spanish Synagogue (Czech: Španělská synagoga, German: Spanische Synagoge, Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי) is a former Reform Jewish synagogue, located in the area of the so-called Jewish Town, Prague, in the Czech Republic. The synagogue was completed in 1868 in the Moorish Revival style on the site of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (German: Altschul).

A small park with a modern statue of Franz Kafka by Jaroslav Róna is situated between the synagogue and the Church of the Holy Spirit.
