Ben Ezra Synagogue

In the very heart of Cairo`s Coptic Quarter, surrounded by ancient Christian churches, stands a unique monument preserving the memory of one of the world`s oldest diasporas—the Ben Ezra Synagogue. Its location within the grounds of the Roman Fortress of Babylon is no accident but a key to the centuries-old history of Egyptian Judaism. Today, it is not an active house of worship but a priceless museum and historical symbol.
