St. Thomas Synagogue, Historic synagogue in Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands.
The synagogue features a colonial-style building with a traditional Caribbean architectural design, incorporating blue and white exterior walls and multiple windows.
Built in 1833, this synagogue earned National Historic Landmark status for its role in preserving Jewish traditions in the Caribbean during Danish colonial rule.
The synagogue maintains regular religious services, educational programs, and exhibits that document the Jewish community's contributions to the Virgin Islands.
Visitors can join guided tours from Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 4 PM to explore the building and its historical artifacts.
The synagogue floor contains sand, following a tradition from the Spanish Inquisition period when Jews needed to muffle their footsteps during secret prayers.
