The Touro is the oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States, the only surviving synagogue building in the U.S. dating to the colonial era, and the oldest surviving Jewish synagogue building in North America. Wonderful place to visit, even better to enjoy Shabbat.

It is a structure of exquisite beauty and design, steeped in history and ideals, and considered one of the most architecturally distinguished buildings of 18th century America. Considered a symbol of religious freedom in the United States, it was designated a national historic site in 1946.
