History

The first synagogue in Transylvania, built in 1840 under Rabbi Iezechiel Paneth and bearing his name, is located in the centre of the town. Gyulafehérvár was the seat of the oldest Jewish community in Transylvania. The three cannon balls were drilled into the wall during the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-1849.
