Belgrade Synagogue, Protected cultural monument in central Belgrade, Serbia
Belgrade Synagogue is a Neoclassical building with four floors in the city center, marked by white facades and large windows. The interior houses a prayer hall, administrative offices, a kosher kitchen, and residential spaces for the community.
The building was constructed in 1924 and 1925 to serve the growing Jewish population of the city. During World War II, Nazi forces repurposed it for various uses, causing significant disruption to its original function.
The building represents the long presence of Jewish communities in the city, who maintained their traditions across generations. Visitors can see today how the space serves for worship and gatherings.
The building is located at 19 Maršala Birjuzova Street in the city center and is relatively easy to reach. Visitors should inquire ahead of time as tours and opening hours may be limited, and respect is needed during worship services.
The cornerstone ceremony was an official event with representatives of the king, underscoring the recognition of Jewish presence in Serbian society at that time. This moment shows how important the community was to the city.
