The most beautiful synagogues to visit Iaşi

Completed in 1671, it is the country's oldest synagogue still in use. Now surrounded by apartment buildings, it was once located in the heart of the old Jewish quarter of Târgu Cucului, where several other synagogues were located. In the 1930s, there were over a hundred synagogues in the whole city, and Jews made up a third of the population. Today, there are just a few hundred. A small obelisk commemorating the victims of the Iași pogroms of June 1941 stands in front of the recently renovated building.
