Hurva Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Old City, Jerusalem
The Hurva Synagogue features a large dome reaching 24 meters in height and stands as a central structure in the Jewish Quarter.
Originally built in 1700, destroyed in 1721, rebuilt in 1864, demolished in 1948, and finally reconstructed in 2010 following traditional Byzantine Revival architecture.
The synagogue houses one of the tallest Torah arks in the world and contains multiple prayer halls where Jewish ceremonies take place daily.
Visitors can access guided tours of the building, arrange ceremonies, and explore archaeological findings in the basement displaying ancient ritual baths.
The northern wall arch remained standing through multiple destructions and reconstructions, serving as a testament to the building's complex history.
