The Czernowitz Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue, is a stunning example of Moorish Revival architecture with its horseshoe arches and intricate brickwork. Built in the 19th century, it was restored after decades of neglect and now serves as a Jewish cultural center and concert venue. Inside, the ornate bimah and colorful stained glass windows captivate visitors. The synagogue stands as a symbol of Chernivtsi’s once-thriving Jewish community.
