Why go

Kutaisi's main synagogue is the largest of three prayer houses in the Jewish quarter and has a richly decorated interior. It makes a focused heritage stop distinct from the Rioni and Royal District walk.

The building is a place of worship, not an open museum. Look at its facade from the street and enter only when visitors are welcomed.
