Safety warning

Visits are only possible with the permission of the community/foundation; do not enter the damaged building without permission.

Its story

The synagogue on Kurtuluş Caddesi was built around 1890 and was the place of worship of Antakya's long-established Jewish community. The mosque, church and synagogue being within walking distance of one another was the most often cited example of the city's multicultural character. It was heavily damaged in the 2023 earthquakes, and a large part of the community left the city. Work toward renovating the building has been reported in the news; visiting conditions are uncertain.
