The Jewish quarter of Tskhinvali

The Jewish quarter contains brick two-story mansions with intricate stone carvings, displaying distinctive architectural features from the 19th century construction period.

The Jewish community of Tskhinvali reached over 2,000 residents at its peak, operating numerous businesses including a brick factory and manufacturing shops.

The synagogue in the quarter functions as both a religious center and meeting place where Jewish traditions and customs are maintained through regular gatherings.

The quarter suffers from structural deterioration, and visitors should exercise caution when walking near the buildings due to potential falling debris.

Former residents who relocated to Israel maintain connections with the quarter through an organization dedicated to preserving its cultural heritage.
