Jewish Quarter and St
Procopius' Basilica in Třebíč (2003)
Czech Republic
|
|
The ensemble of the Jewish Quarter, the old Jewish cemetery and the Basilica
of St Procopius in Trebíc are reminders of the co-existence of Jewish and
Christian cultures from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
The Jewish Quarter bears outstanding testimony to the different aspects of the life of this community. St Procopius Basilica, built as part of the Benedictine monastery in the early 13th century, is a remarkable example of the influence of Western European architectural heritage in this region.
