This is India's oldest synagogue and is truly an amazing sight. The synagogue was built in 1568 for the growing Jewish population. Many of these Jewish people were being persecuted in Europe. India became a safe haven for many of them. The synagogue is located in the quarter of Old Cochin know as Jew Town. I was struck by how well everything has been preserved. The inscription in the front is probably in Hebrew and I'll included a picture below. 5 star for how unique this place is and 5 more stars for how India provided refuge to persecuted Jewish people from around the world.
This place must have immense religious and cultural value for Jews, but the structure is surely underwhelming. It looks like the place is not maintained properly. Nevertheless a great historical site. Please read Wikipedia for further information. Photography inside the premise is strictly prohibited. The place is frequented by people of all faiths including Muslims, Christians and Hindus. I love the country for this.
Amazing..
Oldest synagogue well maintained
It's wonderful. You have to keep your belongings out to enter into the synagogue . Buy your tickets and see the history behind the synagogue . It's so beautiful inside the synagogue. The architectural designs are so wonderful . It's more than 100 years old church . You must visit there .
