[3] Raised in 1671, the Great Synagogue is a free standing building adjacent to a small garden off Cucu Street (once called Sinagogilor Street for the many synagogues located on it) just north of the city center in the old Jewish neighbourhood of Târgu Cucului.

[3][6][7] The Women's Gallery houses a small museum of the Jewish community of Iași.

One wing is two stories high and capped by a barrel-vaulted ceiling.

The other is a tall, single-story hall with a 9.8-metre (32 ft) diameter dome capped with a lantern.
