Vidin Synagogue, Religious monument in Vidin, Bulgaria.
The Vidin Synagogue, constructed in 1894, stands as a two-story building with four towers and multiple stained-glass windows in neo-Gothic architectural style.
The structure suffered substantial damage during World War II bombings, leading to the departure of most Jewish residents and subsequent acquisition by the communist government.
The synagogue reflects the heritage of Jewish people who settled in Bulgaria after migrating from Spain in the fifteenth century and established their community.
Visitors can reach the synagogue by taking a four-hour bus ride or five-hour train journey from Sofia to Vidin, near the Baba Vida Fortress.
The Ministry of Culture plans to transform this second-largest synagogue in Bulgaria into a museum complex named after Jules Pascin, including a library and prayer spaces.
