Review:

Josefov is a town quarter and small area of Prague that was the city's former Jewish ghetto. The area is completely surrounded by Prague's old town. There has been a strong Jewish community in Prague since the 10th century. Over time the community became most settled and concentrated within this walled ghetto. The community even has their own flag, a yellow Star of David on a red background. Many interesting cultural sites are concentrated in the community, including Franz Kafka's birthplace, a Jewish Town Hall, and synagogues ranging from the 13th to 19th centuries. The oldest surviving Jewish cemetery, which was used between the 15th and 18th centuries, is also located in Josefov.
