About Jewish Quarter and Jewish Cemetery
Třebíč’s Jewish quarter stretches between the Jihlava river and the hillside, with narrow streets and passages between houses. The heritage ensemble includes the cemetery in a higher position. It is an urban walk that requires observing the layout and the relationships between spaces, as well as the façades.
The Rear Synagogue and the quarter’s houses help to understand the religious and daily uses of this area. The cemetery contains tombstones from different periods and requires a separate uphill walk. The heritage listing is also related to the Basilica of Saint Procopius, located in another nearby sector.
First walk the streets along the river and then decide the order of the interior sites and the cemetery. Respect the religious and funerary nature of the places. The routes do not amount to a single exhibition with a single entrance; check the conditions of each space before planning a whole morning in the quarter.
