Old Town Synagogue in Rzeszów, Renaissance synagogue in Old Town, Rzeszów, Poland

The Old Town Synagogue features thick walls reinforced with pillars and a Star of David carved into its exterior stone facade.

Built in 1610, the synagogue endured multiple destructions during Cossack invasions and suffered severe damage from German forces in World War II.

The synagogue represents the Jewish community that made Rzeszów known as the Jerusalem of Galicia in the late 18th century.

Located at Bożnicza 4 street, the building now houses state archives and stands next to the larger New Town Synagogue.

The synagogue's restoration preserves commemorative plaques that document the fate of Rzeszów's Jewish population during World War II.
