Thank you. This place is really beautiful, I also thought that it is perfect for setting a movie with some mystery involved.

right. in school i had to read a book called "der Golem" by gustav meyrink. i don't know if you know it, but it is set in Praque in the beginning of the 20th century and it would be the perfect setting for it... (Ok, of course i don't know what Praque looked like during this time, but when i see your picture i think it must have looked like it!)

Of course not the Jewish quarter that exists today. I meant the quarter that was destroyed and where the story is set...

That is interesting, I did know about the destroyed quarter. Why it was destroyed?

good question, i don't know...
That's what wikipedia says:
"Most of the quarter was demolished between 1893 and 1913 as part of an initiative to model the city on Paris..."
