Sardis Synagogue, Ancient synagogue ruins in Sardis, Turkey.
The synagogue complex spans over 50 meters in length, featuring marble columns, decorative mosaics, and two shrines flanking the central entrance hall.
Constructed during the 3rd century CE, the synagogue remained active until an earthquake caused its abandonment in the early 7th century.
The presence of Greek and Hebrew inscriptions on marble plaques indicates the multicultural nature of the Jewish population in ancient Sardis.
The main assembly hall contained enough space to accommodate up to one thousand people, with a roof reaching 14 meters in height.
The synagogue incorporated a section of a Roman bath-gymnasium complex, transforming the public space into a Jewish place of worship.
