Archaeologists Uncover Remains of Historic Synagogue in Vilnius
Archaeologists in Vilnius, Lithuania, have uncovered the remains of the Great Synagogue of Vilna, a significant Jewish religious site destroyed during World War II and later by the Soviet regime. The synagogue, once a central hub for the Jewish community, was built in 1633 and stood for over 300 years. The recent excavation revealed the main prayer hall, terrazzo flooring, and plaques marking worshippers' seats. The site, which was buried under a school building, is being developed as a heritage and memorial site to honor the Jewish community that once thrived there.
