Soldier Synagogue, Art Nouveau synagogue in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.

Soldier Synagogue stands at the corner of Turgenevskaya Street and Gazetny Lane in Rostov-on-Don. Its plan is complex: three volumes step down along a north–south axis. The facade has round-arched windows, upper openings with tracery styled after a Gothic rose, a rusticated base, a heavy cornice with a blind parapet, and four corner domes topped with Stars of David.

The synagogue was founded in 1872 by Jewish veterans who had settled in Rostov-on-Don after their military service. It was badly damaged during the 1905 pogrom and then largely rebuilt between 1913 and 1914.

The name of the synagogue comes from the retired Jewish soldiers who founded it after settling in Rostov-on-Don following their military service. The building remains the only active Jewish house of worship in the city, drawing people who come to practice their faith and stay connected to the community's roots.

The building is worth visiting both for its exterior facade and for the active religious life inside, so it helps to go at a time when the community is present. It is a good idea to check in advance whether there are any requirements or restrictions for visitors.

The two-storey annex added to the south wall in 1891, approved by the Don Host Oblast construction department on 17 May 1890, held a school for children of poor soldiers on the ground floor and a prayer school above. It is often confused with the three-storey brick wing built to the east in 1881 for the synagogue's spiritual board.
