Its story
The building, also known as the Great Gaziantep Synagogue, was abandoned when the city's last Jewish residents left in the 1970s and remained neglected for a long time; its construction date is unknown. The two-story stone building, large enough to hold a few hundred people, was restored in 2012 through cooperation between Türkiye's Jewish community and public institutions and opened to visits in 2014. Its location at the western foot of the castle, near the Şirvani Mosque, is a reminder of Gaziantep's multicultural past.
