SEPHARDIC JEWS that were being persecuted in Europe came to Bosnia and Herzegovina in XVI century, when these regions were part of the Ottoman Empire. Received warmly, not only by the official authorities but the also from the local people, they have remained in these regions for centuries. They settle down at Sijavuš-pasha neighborhood, where they built the Old and New temple.
Old and New Jewish temple
The Old temple was built in 1580, but it was fired twice (in 1697 and 1788). Because of that the new temple was built in 1821. The interior of the temple is divided into three naves, and central part is covered by a curved ceiling. In World War Two it suffered severe damage from the Nazis. Today, the Jewish museum is there.
