Six Dome Synagogue

Six Dome Synagogue, 19th century synagogue in Red Village, Guba District, Azerbaijan

The Six Dome Synagogue is a former synagogue and now a Jewish history museum in Qırmızı Qəsəbə, Quba District, Azerbaijan. Completed in 1888 to a design by architect Gilel Ben Haim, the building has a hexagonal plan, an oriental Moorish Revival style, 14 main windows and walls 7 meters high in the main prayer hall.

The synagogue was completed in 1888 to a design by Gilel Ben Haim, built by the Mountain Jewish mason Jilyad and his companions. It marks the six-day move of Gilgat-quarter residents from the village of Gyalyaduz, permitted by the Quba khan Huseynali Khan. After decades as a warehouse and sewing workshop, it was returned to the community after 1991; restoration began in 1995 and was completed in 2005.

The synagogue was the centre of religious education for the Mountain Jewish community of Qırmızı Qəsəbə, a village said to be the last surviving shtetl outside Israel and the United States. Its six domes are read locally as a symbol of the six-day migration of Gilgat quarter residents from the village of Gyalyaduz, made with the permission of the Quba khan Huseyn Ali Khan.

The building is accessible through the village streets and offers straightforward entry for visitors interested in viewing the religious architecture. Those wishing to enter should be respectful of the space and any community members who may be present, as the synagogue remains an active place of worship.

The synagogue's name refers to the six-day migration of Gilgat quarter residents from the village of Gyalyaduz to Red Village, made with the permission of the Quba khan Huseynali Khan. The hexagonal plan and six domes are said to recall those six days, and the building is also called Alti Gumbaz.
