travler - Mar, 01 2007 01:03pm This synagogu looks modern. When was it built? jorgesanchez - Mar, 01 2007 03:03pm Travler: this old synagogue suffered a terrorist act on Jan. 2004. Jews live in Derbent since the VI century, being the descendants of the military colony established by Persian Emperor Anushirwan. travler - Mar, 01 2007 10:03pm I didn't know that. Thank you for the information.
