Synagogue in Niš

The synagogue features traditional Jewish architectural elements with a central prayer hall and distinctive religious motifs incorporated into its structural design.

Built in 1925 to replace an earlier synagogue that burned down in 1879, the building served the local Jewish community until World War II.

The structure now functions as an exhibition space of the National Museum, displaying artworks and artifacts that represent regional heritage.

Following extensive restoration work in 2009, the building maintains regular opening hours as part of the National Museum's network of cultural venues.

Majo Mevorah, one of the few Jewish survivors from Niš, personally maintained the synagogue until 1948 before departing for Israel.
