The Or Thora Synagogue used to be a small synagogue in the Hafsia hood, the part of the old medina of Tunis where a community of Tunisian jew used to live, the hood was called the “Hara” at that time.

It was constructed in the early 1930s, prior to World War II, designed by architects Aimé Krief and Jean Valensi.

Now it’s closed and abandoned for more than 30 years.
