Great Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Târgu Cucului district, Iași, Romania

The Great Synagogue features a central dome measuring 9.8 meters in diameter, with round-arched windows adorning its brick and stone exterior walls.

Built in 1671, this religious building represents the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania, having undergone multiple renovations in 1761, 1822, and after 1970.

The synagogue maintains a museum in its Women's Gallery section, exhibiting artifacts and documents that detail the Jewish heritage of Iași.

Located at 1 Sinagogilor Street, the synagogue welcomes visitors for religious services and educational tours throughout the year.
