The Wolf Popper Synagogue, also known as Synagoga Mała, is located at 16 Szeroka Street in the Kazimierz district of Kraków. Founded in 1620 by the wealthy Jewish merchant Wolf Popper, it served as a significant cultural and religious hub for the Jewish community until its devastation during World War II. The synagogue's rich history is reflected in its architecture, featuring a single prayer hall with a barrel vault. Although much of its interior was lost during the war, some elements have been restored. Today, the synagogue houses a branch of the Austeria bookstore, which focuses on Jewish culture. Visitors can explore the site, which is an important landmark in Jewish heritage. The synagogue is accessible during bookstore hours, but it is recommended to check for specific visiting hours and any potential admission fees prior to your visit.
