The Great Synagogue is the largest synagogue in the Czech Republic. It is also the second largest synagogue in Europe (after the Budapest Synagogue) and the fifth largest in the world (after the two synagogues in Jerusalem, the one in New York, and the one in Budapest). The Great Synagogue was built between 1888 and 1892 in the Neo-Romanesque style with Moorish elements, according to the plans of the Viennese architect Max Fleischer. Its two towers are 45 meters high. The place of worship, unused for almost two decades and slowly decaying, was reconstructed between 1995 and 1997 and reopened in the spring of 1998.

One of the city's most important cultural monuments is the Josef Kajetan Tyl Theatre (Divadlo Josefa Kajetána Tyla). It has three stages: the Grand Theatre in the original Neo-Renaissance building from 1902, the New Theatre, and the Small Stage in the New Theatre. It was designed by the architect Antonín Balšánek (1865-1921). The hall of the Grand Theatre today, after renovations in the 1980s, seats 444 spectators, while originally it could accommodate around 1100 people.

The most significant square in the city is the "Republic Square" (Náměstí Republiky). With 139 by 193 meters, the rectangular square is one of the largest in Europe. In Bohemia, it is the largest medieval square outside of Prague. In the center of the historic city core, it houses a number of important monuments, such as St. Bartholomew's Cathedral, the Town Hall, the Bishop's Residence, and the Plague Column from 1681 with a replica of the Pilsener Madonna. Since 2010, modern, gold-shimmering fountains have been located in the remaining corners of the square. They depict a greyhound, a camel, and an angel – elements of the Pilsener coat of arms.

Externally, it has a lot of similarity to the Vienna State Opera, of course the theater is much smaller.

The Great Synagogue of Pilsen – a building that remains silent, yet speaks more than many a preacher. Its domes bear not only beauty, but also memory. Since 1893, it has stood there, red, serene, with a dignity that speaks both of splendor and suffering. Oriental, neo-Gothic, Jewish – and yet quintessentially Pilsen. It is one of the largest synagogues in the world. Within, the light whispers, as if it knows what has been lost. And outside, life passes by, reverently, sometimes carelessly. Yet it remains.

A truly beautiful and very large synagogue. Beautifully restored. Very quiet. Something different from the many churches. Definitely worth seeing.
