Description
Dating back to the mid-16th century, this small synagogue began as a hospital and was partially constructed into the Kazimierz city walls, still visible now. After being looted during WWII, it was finally restored in the early 2000s. Upstairs in the former women's gallery, one can find a special exhibition that pays tribute to Jewish life in Poland after WWII. Additionally, the synagogue features lavish ceiling frescoes from the 1920s and some distinctive zodiac paintings.
