Yanbol Synagogue, 18th century synagogue in Balat district, Turkey
The Yanbol Synagogue features a large central hall with wooden ceilings decorated in floral patterns and columns with ornate carved capitals.
Bulgarian Jewish immigrants from the city of Yambol established this synagogue in Istanbul following an Ottoman decree issued in 1693.
The synagogue maintains Nusach Sefard liturgical traditions and serves as a center for Jewish religious practices in the Balat neighborhood.
The synagogue currently opens its doors exclusively for Shabbat services, reflecting the decreased Jewish population in the surrounding area.
The synagogue's ark doors display intricate craftsmanship with mother-of-pearl and ivory inlays, similar to those at the Ahrida Synagogue.
