Currently Josefov is overbuilt with buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, so it is difficult to appreciate exactly what the old quarter was like when it was reputed to have over 18,000 inhabitants.
Josefov agora conta con edificios modernos, principalmente de comezos do século XX, polo que é difícil ter unha idea exacta de como era o distrito na época cando chegaron a vivir máis de 180.000 habitantes.
