Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went on a private tour of Jewish Split with our tour guide Lea. It was well worth it. We learned all about the history of the Jews in Split. She showed us menorahs carved into stone in the Diocletian Palace. We saw the Jewish quarter, where the old Jewish cemetery is and then the Synagogue. A small sanctuary up a long flight of stairs. There we met Lea's father, Albert, the caretaker and member of the synagogue. Take a tour...you will learn so much about this community where Jews have been traced back to the 3rd or 4th century.

Stop at the information center at the Peristyle to get precise directions to the place which is tricky to find otherwise. You will have a great overview of the history of Yugoslavian Jewry and the synagogue presented by Albert. Also, if you want a tour of the Jewish Split go to their website and email Lea to arrange one.

Created from two 16th century medieval houses, in what was then the Jewish ghetto, its current iteration dates from about 1728...Jewish community here can be traced back to Roman times, and while only about 100 are here today, synagogue continues, albeit w/o a rabbi or any schooling...interesting history...small, brief visit, but part of Split Jewish experience...tour guide enriched the visit, including her father, one of the leaders of the Jewish community.

This Synagogue set within the ancient walls of Diocletian Palace is a unique piece of history. This comparatively tiny church has been faithfully preserved and includes a library.
Really worth seing and experiencing.

Split Synagogue is located just outside the walls of Diocletian palace on the tiny Zidovski Prolaz (examine the map here at TA). If you are at Narodni trg (People’s square) and facing the City Clock take the Bosanska ul to your left; go slowly and look to your right - Zidovski Prolaz, I believe there was an arch over the street opening. This small synagogue is resembling the synagogues at Venetian ghetto. Thank you to a synagogue member (Abi?) for the wonderful information about the history of Jewish community in Split and Solin. The admission is FREE; if you enjoy your visit, there is a Tzedakah box on the table just before the stairs.
We visited during Rosh Hashana, and were forunate to celebrate with a nice and welcoming local community in Split.

This little synagogue is one of the oldest operating one. There are only about 100 members. A bit difficult to find but well worthwhile a visit when you find it.
You will have to go up a short staircase and ring a bell for entrance.

Compared to other synagogues I’ve visited, this one was somewhat underwhelming. It’s very tiny, difficult to find, and has a dearth of information available. The attendant was pleasant enough, but had very little to say about the place.

As mentioned in the reviews this is a very old congregation dating back to early 1500. The volunteer gentleman docent spends time describing the history of the place, the community of 100 people who keep the place going. He is very generous with his time and happy to talk about the wars, how the Jews survive and their struggles to keep the place going. Services held on holidays but best to call and ask.
Also there is the old Jewish cemetery in the Marjan park with the entrance next to the cafe( at the top of the stairs)Also dates back 500 years but unlike the synagogue it has yet to be restored. Many of the names mentioned in the synagogue memorial plaque are found in cemetery .

It is a small but beautiful synagogue and a testament to the resilience of the small tightly knit community in Split. Very impressive.
