The most beautiful synagogues to visit Bucharest

Located near Piaţa Amzei, this synagogue is the oldest in the city still in use. Built in 1840, it is renowned for its architectural style, with neo-Moorish influences, and for the beauty of its interior hall (carved wooden balconies...). Outside, bas-reliefs adorn the tympanums above the doors. The higher one on the façade depicts the Ten Commandments. After a long period of closure, the synagogue was restored in 2007 and is now used by the Lubavitch community.

Set back from the street, this brick neo-Moorish synagogue was built in 1866. Gradually enlarged, organs and superb stained-glass windows were added. A monument to the victims of the Holocaust has stood in the courtyard on the street side since 1992. The synagogue is still in use. Those interested in the history of the city's Jewish community can also visit two large cemeteries: Cimitirul Evreiesc (Sephardic), Şoseaua Giurgiului, and Cimitirul Israelit Filantropia (Ashkenazi), boulevard Mihalache.
