The Jewish population began to settle in the region of Prague in the 10th century. The first settlements, which later disappeared without a trace, were in the Lesser Side (at Újezd) and below Vyšehrad. Possibly in the 1st half of the 12th century another Jewish settlement with a synagogue was established around today’s Dušní Street. During the first half of the 13th century, the Jewish population spread to the area of today’s Old-New Synagogue and thus established the Jewish Town – the ghetto. In 1850, this town became the fifth Prague quarter and was named Josefov (in memory of the emperor Josef II). A Town Hall, six synagogues and a cemetery are preserved from the original neighborhood. Other buildings were demolished during the renovation at the turn of the 20th century and replaced by the Art Nouveau tenement houses and buildings -- for instance Paris Avenue – Pařížská třída.
