I took a tour of three different synagogues in the old Jewish Ghetto. The first two were Ashkenazi. One was German and built in 1528 and the other was founded by Jews from Southern France and built in 1530. Oddly, those two were built with a passage between them. The museum doesn't really know why they were built this way, but they assume it ...
