Satu Mare Synagogue, Synagogue and historic monument in Satu Mare, Romania.
The Satu Mare Synagogue is a Neo-Mudéjar building with a three-part facade that mirrors its internal three-nave structure. Detailed brickwork and ornamental patterns cover the entire building, showing the careful craftsmanship of its design.
The building was constructed in 1889 as the Jewish community was growing and establishing important institutions. A second, smaller building was added in 1927 to provide additional space for worship.
The main prayer hall displays the traditional layout with a central platform where Torah scrolls were read during services. The space reflects the deep roots of the Jewish community in the city and shows how they practiced their faith.
The building is accessible to visitors through guided tours and cultural events and is located on Decebal Street. The restored site provides good access for understanding its architectural and historical importance.
The complex once housed one of the largest Jewish communities in the region, and its preserved state shows the commitment to maintaining this cultural landmark. Careful restoration revealed original decorative elements that reflect the artistic vision of its builders.
