This synagogue was formed by Jews who left Brazil in the 1620s and introduced sugarcane to Barbados. The adjoining cemetery has tombstones dating from the 1630s. The original house of worship, built in 1654, was destroyed in an 1831 hurricane. The synagogue was rebuilt in 1833 and restored by the Barbados National Trust in 1992. Services are held, and the building is open to the public. COST: Donation requested.
