In Turda, in the interwar period, there was a significant Jewish community. In the place where there was a house that served as a place of prayer for this community a synagogue was built between 1921-1926.
The building situated on Mihai Eminescu Street, no. 1 is made in eclectic style with elements of Moorish style, and on the southern and northern facades we encounter two lions in bas relief – the lion being the symbol of the tribe of Judah.
