The building was donated to the community by community-member Isaac Bessis in the 1910s and was designed by Italian architect Benoît Barsotti.

[2] Access to the synagogue involves going through a passage that leads to the building façade (now separated from the street).

Above the front door of the building are the Stone Tablets of the Ten Commandments.

[1] Inside, the sanctuary is a square room centred around four pillars which once supported an upper women's section and a skylight before renovations in the 1980s replaced it with a portico above the Torah Ark.
