Ne pas manquer cette visite. Le travail de restauration est magnifique.
L’entrée se fait depuis une animalerie. Son gérant vous ouvrira les portes de ce trésor restauré.

This is closed for public.. Public not allowed here.. So do not waste your time. Many reviews give here are of mattencherry synagogue.. So dnt get confused
Very small but we'll maintained.
The Mattancherry Synagogue is among the most historically relevant locations in Fort Kochi. The oldest synagogue in the Commonwealth, it was built in 1568. Also known as the Paradesi Synagogue, it receives several thousand visitors every year. It has mid-18th century hand-painted and willow patterned floor tiles from China, a clock tower, Hebrew inscriptions on stone slabs, great scrolls of the Old Testament and ancient scripts on copper plates in which grants of privilege were made by the former Cochin rulers. The area around the synagogue is a centre of spice trade and curio shops.
History of a wonderful community.... At Kochin, Kerala
A Synagogue that holds the longest Jewish history in India. This Synagogue is much older than the Paradesi Synagogue. Photos from Hanukah Celebration.
The most beautiful place, being so painstakingly restored. Its a true haven from the seemingly chaotic streets outside. The colours inside are breathtakingly stunning and the glass chandeliers are exquisite. We visited last January and was shown round by the owner. He is doing the most amazing job and is looking after this superb most important historic building. Thank you so much for letting us see the synagogue again today. It truly is a very special place. Thank you
