The great fire of 1905 destroyed its predecessor, so this synagogue was opened in 1909 to serve the large Jewish population. They were mostly Sephardic, descended from those expelled from Spain in 1492 who fled to Ottoman territory. The synagogue is in Moorish Revival style and modeled on the Leopoldstädter Tempel in Vienna. It was abandoned in 1983 and fell derelict as its community left for Israel and elsewhere. It was restored and re-opened in 2015 with a service, but isn't routinely used for worship. There's a small museum within.

This was built in the 15th century, so it's the oldest and smallest of the city's three imperial mosques. It's a low building with nine domes and two minarets, with striking calligraphy within.
