The Jewish Quarter of Třebíč is a historic neighbourhood in western Moravia, Czechia, on the north bank of the Jihlava river, about 53 km west of Brno in a straight line. It is one of the best-preserved old Jewish quarters in Europe. In 2003 the quarter, together with the nearby Jewish cemetery and St Procopius' Basilica, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a testimony to the exchange of cultures in the region. It has 123 houses and two synagogues, and on a hill above lies a cemetery with about 4,000 gravestones. Its architecture varies widely because it was lived in continuously for centuries. The quarter lies between the rocks and the river in narrow cobbled lanes that climb and drop between colourful, tightly packed houses with yellow and pink walls, arches, covered passages and steps. On the opposite bank, red-roofed houses of the town line the river. Visitors wander the lanes and passages, look over the town from viewpoints and visit the synagogue and old cemetery. The quarter is quiet, half a day is enough, and it makes a trip from Brno.
