Split Synagogue, 16th-century Orthodox Sephardic synagogue in Split, Croatia
The synagogue occupies the second floor of two connected medieval houses within the western wall of Diocletian's Palace on Židovski Prolaz street.
The original synagogue was destroyed by fire in 1507, leading the Jewish community to establish the current place of worship in the northwest section of Diocletian's Palace.
The synagogue serves as both a religious center and the headquarters for Split's Jewish community, maintaining centuries of Sephardic traditions in Dalmatia.
The building underwent major renovations in 1996 and 2015, addressing structural issues and creating exhibition spaces that document Jewish life in Split.
Archaeological work during restoration revealed fragments of Roman stele and medieval marble door jambs incorporated into the synagogue's north facade window surrounds.
