Historical Site
The Jews, who constituted a small part of the population in Gaziantep during the Ottoman period, had a synagogue of sufficient size for their congregation in the area known as the Jewish Quarter. The first construction date of the synagogue is recorded as 1886 in Aleppo Salnames (year-books).
Gaziantep Synagogue, built during the Ottoman period for the Jewish community of Gaziantep, is a remarkable heritage site reflecting the city's rich cultural history. After being closed for a long time since 1979, it was reopened after restoration; featuring a cut stone structure, historical inscriptions, and hosting events like Hanukkah.
