Lonely Planet review

During the 19th century, Galata had a large Sephardic Jewish population and a number of synagogues. Most of this community has now moved to other residential areas in the city, but the synagogues remain. Tragically, this building has become a target for anti-Jewish extremists and it has suffered two attacks in recent decades - a brutal massacre by Arab gunmen during the summer of 1986 and a 2003 car bomb attack.
