Synagogue of Barcelona, Religious complex in Sant Gervasi-Galvany, Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Synagogue of Barcelona is a three-story brick building in Sant Gervasi-Galvany with two separate prayer halls serving different Jewish communities. The structure combines the needs of both congregations within a single, purposefully designed building.
History
The building was constructed in 1954, marking the revival of Jewish communal life in Barcelona after World War II. This reopening allowed both community traditions to exist openly and together once again.
Culture
This place holds separate worship spaces for two different Jewish traditions, representing how Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities coexist within the same building. The structure itself shows how diverse religious practices exist side by side in the neighborhood.
Practical
The building is located in a residential neighborhood with good public transport connections and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should remember this is an active gathering place where respect for ongoing activities is important.
Did you know?
The building functions as a meeting point where concerts, lectures, and gatherings bring together people from different backgrounds. These events connect the Jewish community with the broader Barcelona public.
