The Synagogue Church

In the heart of the market of the city of Nazareth, among the stores, a small yard leads to a special underground church. According to Christian tradition, in this ancient synagogue Jesus studied, prayed and declared himself the Messiah. In the Middle Ages, this synagogue was made into a church. The unique and picturesque small structure of the Synagogue Church is curved, which gives it an atmosphere of ancient Holiness. Adjacent to the Synagogue Church a newer church was built in 1887, which is decorated with magnificent colorful wall paintings.
