There was a large Jewish community and more than a hundred synagogues in Vilnius before World War II. The city was even called Jerusalem of Lithuania. Now there is only one synagogue left open. It was built in 1903 according to the project of the architect Dovid Rozenhauz. The synagogue is almost a perfect square-shaped building, with a cubic volume, crowned with a large dome. The exterior decoration of the building is eclectic, with dominating Romanesque forms oriental motifs. The integral interior space is surrounded with galleries for women from the three sides and premises for a choir.
