Kahal Shalom Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in La Juderia quarter, Rhodes, Greece
The Kahal Shalom Synagogue features black and white mosaic stone patterns on its floors and contains a central tevah facing southeast toward Jerusalem.
Constructed in 1577, this religious building stands as the oldest synagogue in Greece and the sole remaining Jewish temple on Rhodes Island used for services.
The synagogue follows Sephardic architectural traditions with its central bimah and dual Torah arks, reflecting the heritage of Jews who settled from Spain.
The religious center opens for Friday night prayer services, High Holidays, and special occasions, welcoming local worshippers and international visitors.
The building includes two floors, with a 1930s addition of a women's balcony replacing the previous side rooms with sanctuary views through the south wall.
