The story

Story · Ashkenazi Synagogue

  • en

You're standing at the Sarajevo Synagogue, on the south bank of the river Miljacka. Take a look at the façade. With its great arches and eastern shapes, it looks more like a Moorish palace than a house of prayer. That Moorish Revival style was a deliberate choice. The synagogue was dedicated in 1902, a building four storeys high.
