Review №31

The synagogue was built in 1880 and was officially opened in 1918. It is an imposing building with an architecture similar to that of the Christian cathedrals from the outside (front and nave). The front shows two towers that highlight the middle section. Inside is a large hall with chandeliers, the roof is supported by numerous columns. Jewish symbols can no longer be identified.In the course of Algerian independence, the synagogue was expropriated after 13 years in 1975 and functionally assigned to a mosque, for which the large empty prayer room is a sign.Even if politics acted according to their view, the synagogue remains in the minds of the people as such and is accordingly noted in the history books worldwide.
