Sarajevo Synagogue, Ashkenazi synagogue in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The synagogue features Moorish Revival architecture with large arches, painted decorations, and a high ornamental ceiling spread across two floors.
Built in 1902 by architect Karel Parik during the Austro-Hungarian period, this synagogue stands as the only functioning Jewish temple in Sarajevo today.
The synagogue incorporates both local influences and Jewish traditions, serving as the center for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Located near the Miljacka River in central Sarajevo, the synagogue maintains regular worship services following the Ashkenazi tradition.
A stone menorah at the entrance marks four centuries of Jewish presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the interior displays a ten-pointed star.
