  This synagogue, one of the two remaining oldest synagogues in Balat, was originally built as two separate synagogues by Romaniote Jews (Jews of the Byzantine Empire who lived in Constantinople and elsewhere long before the arrival of the Sephardim) in c. 1460, and was later used by Sephardi Jews who came from Spain via the Macedonian city of Ohrid (Ochrid). “Ahrida” is one of the two names being used by Greeks for “Ohrid.” The two groups were finally mixed, with Sephardic culture being the predominant culture now in Istanbul, so that the liturgy was being performed in the Sephardic style. The congregations were combined into one larger space (seating 500) in the 1860s. Throughout its history, this synagogue has been restored many times. After the most recent restoration, which was done in 1992 by the Quincentennial Foundation, the synagogue was open to the public for worship. The tevah (bimah) is shaped like the prow of a ship. According to legend, this structure is a fragment of Noah’s ark, or represents the boats that brought the Sephardi Jews on their journey from Spain to Istanbul.

  لا توجد الكثير من الآثار اليهودية في تركيا نظرأ لقلة أعدادهم، ويعود وجودهم إلى الهجرات اليهودية من إسبانيا والبرتغال بعد عمليات التهجير والاضطهاد التي تعرضوا لها على يد الصليبيين. ومن أبرز الآثار اليهودية
  وكنيس "أهريدا": بني في القرن الخامس عشر، ويقع في منطقة "بالات" في بلدية فاتح
  
  بالإضافة إلى هذه الآثار الدينية التابعة للديانات السماوية توجد بعض الآثار الوثنية مثل: معبد أَرْطَامِيسَ‎ (Temple of Artemis) ‎في مدينة أفس حيث يعتبر أكبر بناء في العالم القديم وهو ‏أحد عجائب الدنيا السبع‎.‎

  I've been reading comments and one of the commenters gave the synagogue a poor review because they wouldn't let Muslims in. It's simply not true. I went with a guide last week, who was born Muslim, and they allowed us in, but not without having faxed our passports in prior to the visit. Read the news! 2003 attack at One synagogue. Another attack at the same synagogue in summer 2017. Can anyone blame them for being cautious about who they let in. Most certainly not! Maybe think before you post such a negative review.

  Ahrida Sinagogu; İstanbul Suriçi Haliç’in güneyinde Balat semtinde 1430 tarihlerinde Romanyot Yahudileri tarafından iki sinagog olarak inşa edilmiştir. Romanyot Yahudileri Bizans İmparatorluğu zamanında Bizans topraklarında yaşamış Yahudilerdir. İspanya’dan göç etmek zorunda kalan Yahudiler İstanbul’la beraber çeşitli Osmanlı şehirlerine yerleşmişlerdir. Daha sonra bir kısmı bu şehirlerden İstanbul’a göçmüşlerdir. Bu sinagogta Makedonya’nın Ohri şehrinden gelen Yahudiler tarafından kullanılmıştır. Bu iki sinagog 1860 tarihlerinde birleştirilerek 500 kişi kapasiteli bir binaya çevrilmiştir. Sinagog 1992 tarihinde restore edilmiş olup bu yenileme ile ilgili tereddütler vardır. Teva bu yapıda bir gemi pruvası olarak biçimlendirilmiştir. Bu gemi formu Yahudilerin İspanya’dan gelişini tasvir etmek için kullanılmıştır. Yerel söylencelere göre Sebatay Sevi de bu yapıda vaaz vermiştir.
