Synagogue Al Fassiyine

The Synagogue Al Fassiyine stands out as a narrow, unassuming structure in the heart of the Fes Jdid district, marked by a simple wooden door that contrasts with the grander architecture nearby. Once the spiritual center for the city's Jewish community, the building fell into total disrepair for decades after its congregation dwindled. In twenty twelve, the Moroccan government funded its full restoration, a project aimed at preserving a tangible piece of the country's multi-faith history that had nearly vanished from the neighborhood.
