Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place that once bustled with the activity of tailors. As you look around, the walls seem to echo tales of craftsmanship. It was here, in 1819, that a remarkable transformation took place. The old tailor's guild was converted into a synagogue. Look up, and you might catch a glimpse of the changes etched into the architecture. Just behind you, the Franciscan Church stands watch, a silent witness to the events of 1938 when the synagogue was desecrated. But the spirit of renewal is resilient. Since 2012, this place has reclaimed its dignity, inviting you to be a part of its ongoing story.
