Synagogue de la rue des Tournelles, Jewish sanctuary in Le Marais, Paris, France

The Synagogue de la rue des Tournelles displays a Romanesque-Byzantine facade with large arcades, Corinthian fluted pilasters, and a rose window with Torah scrolls carvings.

Built in 1876 to serve Jewish refugees from Alsace and Lorraine following the Franco-Prussian War, this synagogue became a protected historical monument in 1987.

The synagogue functions as a Constantinois Sephardic rite worship center, marking a shift from its original Ashkenazi traditions established in the 19th century.

Located at 21bis Rue des Tournelles in the 4th arrondissement, this synagogue provides free guided tours and regular religious services for the local community.

The interior structure features a metal framework designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, with a 21-meter-wide nave leading to a semicircular apse containing the Holy Ark.
