Choral Synagogue of Vilnius
The Choral Synagogue of Vilnius stands as a testament to the city's Jewish heritage. It was established in 1903 during a flourishing Jewish era, being the only synagogue that remains in operation today following the destruction of many others in World War II.
This synagogue features an intriguing combination of oriental and modern Romanesque architectural styles. Visitors can see its beautifully vaulted interior and ornate Torah ark. Daily prayers in the Misnagdim tradition offer a glimpse into the spiritual life of the Jewish community.
