The Jewish quarter and the Basilica of St Procopius in Třebíč

Třebíč is an old-time and beautiful town. Its dominant places were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2003.

The Jewish quarter is the only Jewish sight on the UNESCO list outside Israel. When you enter this quarter, you immerse yourself into the atmosphere of old winding streets, mystical passages and corners.

The Jewish town hall was in the centre of the community. The building has a Baroque core. You can see a barrel vault, lunettes or a beautiful facade. Also the rabbinate is very well done. The foundation of the building is from the 17th century. A big supporting pillar is typical for the frontage.
