Synagogue d'Avignon, Religious monument in Avignon, France.
The synagogue features a neoclassical rotunda with white columns supporting a central dome above a square layout with walnut furnishings throughout the space.
After a fire destroyed the previous structure in 1845, architect Joseph-Auguste Joffroy designed and constructed the current synagogue between 1846 and 1848.
This synagogue stands as a testament to the enduring Jewish presence in Avignon, replacing earlier structures that served the community since the 13th century.
Located at Place Jerusalem in central Avignon, the synagogue welcomes visitors Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM with guided tours available.
The building received classification as a historical monument in 1990, distinguishing its architectural and cultural value within the French heritage system.
