Mayor Synagogue, Istanbul, Byzantine synagogue in Hasköy district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Mayor Synagogue stands along Hasköy Avenue, featuring stone construction elements that reflect traditional Byzantine architectural design principles.
Built during the Byzantine period, the synagogue received its name Mayor for being the largest religious structure in the Hasköy neighborhood.
The synagogue served as a central gathering point for Jewish religious ceremonies until 1923, representing the presence of Jewish communities in Istanbul.
The building now functions as a storage facility and contains a billiard parlor, while also hosting various cultural events throughout the year.
Artist Serge Spitzer selected this location in 2009 for his installation Molecular Istanbul, connecting historical elements with modern artistic expression.
