The Central Synagogue of Aleppo is one of the city's most important non-Islamic religious sites, tied to a Jewish community whose history in Aleppo stretched back many centuries. It is especially associated with the Aleppo Codex, the famed Hebrew Bible manuscript once kept there.
Access and condition can be sensitive, and visitors should treat it as a heritage site rather than an ordinary attraction. Its importance is historical as much as architectural: it is a reminder that Aleppo's old city was shaped by many communities before war and emigration emptied much of that world.
