Choral Temple

Bucharest's principal synagogue combines a richly decorated Moorish Revival interior with memorials and an active role in the city's Jewish community.

Why go

The Choral Temple is both an architectural landmark and a living place of worship. Bands of colour, galleries and intricate ornament create an interior distinct from nearby Orthodox churches, while memorial elements address the violence experienced by Romanian Jews. A guided or controlled visit provides needed context and helps protect the congregation's privacy.

What to look for

  • Polychrome Moorish Revival decoration fills the sanctuary and galleries.
  • Memorial elements connect the building with Romanian Jewish history and persecution.

Useful to know

  • Check visiting hours, identification and security requirements in advance.
  • Dress respectfully and never treat worshippers as part of the display.
