The Ankara Synagogue (Turkish: Ankara Sinagogu) is the largest synagogue in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. It was built in Ulus, the tumbling old quarter of Turkey’s capital, the Ankara Synagogue dates back to the 19th century and was radically refurbished by an Italian architect in 1906. The historical building is kept closed most of the year as it cannot find the required number of congregation members for worship.
