Centrum Judaicum - Neue Synagogue (Jewish Centre - New Synagogue)
The Neue Synagogue was completed in 1866. Its location in the heart of the Scheunenviertel (Berlin's Jewish district) suffered serious bomb damage in 1943. Thanks to renovation in the mid 1990s, its Moorish dome can now be seen in its original glory. The synagogue houses a Jewish Centre, with an exhibition. The Alter Jüdischer Friedhof (Old Jewish Cemetery) is a short walk away, at Schönhauser Allee 23-25 (open Monday to Thursday 0800 to 1600 and Friday 0800 to 1300).
