[1] In 2003, together with the nearby Jewish Cemetery and the St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč, the Jewish Quarter was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, because of its testimony to the exchange of cultures and values in the region.

[3] The residential buildings in the quarter are generally condominium-style, with several (sometimes up to 16) owners of a subdivided house.

[3] The oldest mention of a synagogue in Třebíč is from 1590, although many of gravestones in the cemetery are much older.

Unusually for Europe at the time, the Jewish Quarter had its own self-government with an elected magistrate and councilors beginning in the Renaissance.

Therefore, many buildings of the Jewish town (e. g. the town hall, rabbi's office, hospital, poorhouse or school) do not serve their original purpose any more and the houses are now owned by people of non-Jewish faith.
