Where to Visit

Ashkenazi Synagogue

This synagogue is among the other synagogues of Jewish people belonging to Ashkenazi ( Aşkenaz) community living in İstanbul and the only one that has still been in service.

Loacted at Yüksek Kaldırım Street at Galata, the synagogue was constructed by Ashkenazi ( Aşkenaz) people of Austrian origin. With its facade in European style and the decoration of its Ehal and Teva( prayer desk) in wooden pagoda style with Polish influence,the synagogue displays a different view when compared to traditional Sefarad and Romaniot synagogues
