Ibn Danan Synagogue In Fez, Morocco

View of the interior of the Ibn Danan synagogue (Aben Danan synagogue) looking down from the mechitza balcony (a space used by women to worship) in the Jewish quarter of the Medina (old city) of Fez (Fes) in Morocco, Africa. The synagogue is of the oldest and most important synagogues in North Africa. It was originally built and owned by a prominent Moroccan Jewish family in the mid-seventeenth century and renovated in its present form in 1999. The structure, located in the hearth of the mellah (Jewish quarter) is a rare survivor of a pivotal time in Moroccan Jewish history. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
