Location in Gyrmyzy Gasaba

The Six Dome Synagogue (Azerbaijani: Altı günbəz sinaqoqu, lit. 'Alti Gumbaz Synagogue') is a former Jewish synagogue and now landmark Jewish history museum, located in the village of Gyrmyzy Gasaba (or Red Village), of Quba district, Azerbaijan. The former synagogue building was erected at the end of the nineteenth century and is similar in design to a synagogue in Istanbul. The synagogue was the center of religious education.[1]

Red Village, situated in the northeast of Azerbaijan, close to the border with Russia, is believed to be the world's only all-Jewish village outside of Israel and the United States, and the last surviving shtetl.[2]
