The Ankara Synagogue (Turkish : Ankara Sinagogu) is a Jewish congregation and synagogue located on Birlik Street, in Ankara, in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. Completed in 1834, [1] the stone synagogue was built in Ulus, the tumbling old quarter of Turkey's capital. The synagogue 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.
