Synagogues in Amsterdam
Portuguese Synagogue
The Portuguese Synagogue is an awe-inspiring testimony of the vibrant and rich Jewish culture in Amsterdam in the seventeenth century. The beautiful building, modelled after the Temple of Solomon, was the biggest synagogue of its time. It is still a functioning synagogue, but it is also open to visitors.
Address: Mr. Visserplein 3, Amsterdam
