Synagogue in Niš

The Synagogue in Niš is a religious building featuring traditional Jewish architectural elements throughout its design and interior spaces. The structure includes a central prayer hall with distinctive religious details integrated into its construction.

The building was constructed in 1925 to replace an earlier synagogue destroyed in 1879. It served the local Jewish community until World War II, when its role changed permanently.

The building now functions as an exhibition space, displaying artworks that reflect the region's cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Visitors can see how the space hosts cultural programs and presentations for the local community.

The building has been extensively restored and is now accessible to visitors as part of a museum network with regular opening hours. You should check the scheduled times before planning your visit.

After the war, the building was maintained by Majo Mevorah, one of the few Jewish survivors from the city, who cared for it until 1948. He then left for Israel, leaving behind an important chapter in the local story.
