Dubrovnik Synagogue
Sinagoga u Dubrovniku
A Sephardic synagogue on Jewish Street in the Old Town, considered one of the oldest synagogues in Europe still in use. It has a small museum attached.
The synagogue is located on Jewish Street (Žudioska), a narrow lane beside the Stradun. It dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries and moved to its current floor in 1652. It is still used for religious services today. The second-floor prayer hall retains a Baroque-style Torah ark and wooden furnishings. The small first-floor museum displays scrolls, ritual objects, and historical materials on the local Jewish community, including records from World War II. The space is very small, and a visit takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Tickets must be purchased, and opening hours vary by season.
