Skywatch

The Portuguese Synagogue is a late 17th-century Sephardic synagogue in Amsterdam, completed in 1675. The Amsterdam Sephardic community was one of the largest and richest Jewish communities in Europe during the Dutch Golden Age, and their very large synagogue reflected this. It still remains an active place of worship.

    I remember visiting this Synagogue on my visit to Amsterdam in 2015 and it was a very interesting history lesson.

    It's good to hear that this place is still in business. So many places or worship have disappeared or been converted to something else.

    Beautiful architecture!

    I've never been inside a synagogue, just outside.

    Architecturally it is nothing like any other synagogue I've seen. Good to know there is still an active congregation.

    From the outside I would not guess it a place of worship...I will bet it is beautiful inside.
