Built in the 15th century, the synagogue is the oldest still standing in Poland. It was ransacked by the Nazis during World War II and was renovated between 1956 and 1959. It is now as a museum documenting Jewish life in Kraków.
The Old Synagogue was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and fortress synagogue, located at 24 Szeroka Street, in the Kazimierz district of Kraków, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland.

Built in 1810 and renovated in 1912 (these dates are written in Stars of David put on the facade). Devastated by the Nazis, the building became residential after the war.
Synagoga Wysoka
Called "high" because the prayer room is on the second floor (this is the only example of that kind in Poland). Third synagogue built in Kazimierz, in Renaissance style. It's in bad condition, but conservators are working on the building. It is open to public and sometimes hosts photo exhibitions.
Houses an exhibition of photographs with explanations in Polish and English. These are recent photographs of locations around Poland associated with the Holocaust. Some are places where massacres occurred; most show old synagogues and Jewish cemeteries with comments about how respectfully (or not) these places are now preserved. The museum also has a bookstore and coffee shop and arranges coach trips to Auschwitz.
Was one of the most splendid buildings in Kazimierz, devastated during the Nazi occupation. Today a cultural centre with workshops on dance, art classes, lectures, film screenings, etc.
Isaak Jakubowicz Synagogue
Built in the 17th century, it was considered the most beautiful synagogue in Krakow. After the war it was a theater, warehouse and sculpture workshop. Since the 1980s, it has been renovated and serves as Jewish Education Centre. Since 2007 it has also been used for religious purposes.
Built in 1930s right next to Izaak Synagogue. Since the 80s it has served as a Jewish Culture Centre.
