The Brașov Synagogue, completed in 1901, stands as a testament to the city's once-thriving Jewish community. Its Moorish Revival style features intricate arches, colorful stained glass, and a striking facade. Visitors can explore the prayer hall, admire the bimah and Torah ark, and learn about Jewish life in Transylvania through exhibits. The synagogue survived WWII and remains an active place of worship and a cultural landmark.
