Great Synagogue of Edirne

This beautiful place is one that is not often mentioned in trips to Edrine, yet is a sight worth the 5 minutes walk from the end of the main street. The restoration is great, I only find it weirdly difficult to get there, and kind of confusing. Approach from north-west to find the entrance.

Amazing mozaicas

It was okay. An ordinary synagogue

An interesting history and a beautiful restoration of the religious building. İ was surprised at it size and the restoration work based on the amount and f damage that this structure had endured.

It is a hidden gem in Edirne. It is one of the best restoration works in this country. After all synagogues burned down in great fire of Edirne, they decided to build one new, bigger synagogue. However, when the community leaves the area it is left unattended and almost completely destroyed. Luckily they made a good job in restoration and this nice place looking great again. There is a museum behind it and nowadays there is anne frank exhibition inside of it. I would recommend visiting it after you see the synagogue.
