Templo Libertad Synagogue, Argentina

Templo Libertad Synagogue is located next to Plaza Lavalle in Buenos Aires. It has been considered a historical monument of national significance since 2000. Construction of the religious monument began in the late 19th century. It was fully completed in 1898. The Jewish community living in Buenos Aires increased significantly in the coming decades. This led to the need to rebuild the synagogue. It acquired its current features in 1932. The best architects in Argentina worked on the design of the new building.

Experts have some difficulties in accurately defining the architectural style of the synagogue even today. This building harmoniously combines features of the Byzantine and Romanesque styles. One of the main decorations of the facade is a large semicircular arch. It is complemented by stucco decorations. The Star of David is located in its center. The synagogue hall has an impressive scale. It is designed for 1,000 parishioners. The floor is laid with beautiful granite tiles. Massive wooden furniture has been installed in the synagogue since its foundation. One of the main decorations of the synagogue is an old organ.

Another important cultural institution is located next to a religious monument. This is the Dr. Salvador Kibrick Jewish Museum. You can see an interesting collection of historical, artistic, and religious exhibits in this museum. The interesting museum was opened in 1967. A significant part of the exhibition is made up of personal belongings of Jewish immigrants. They migrated to Argentina in the 19th century. You can also see their saved documents.
