The Ahrida Synagogue, glorious example of the rich cultural life of Turkish Jews, the Ahrida has its rightful place among major synagogues of the world. The oldest of Istanbul's 16 synagogues in use today, located in the neighborhood of Balat (Istanbul), the Ahrida dates from the early 15th century.

The Neve Shalom Synagogue is a 20th century synagogue in the Galata district of Istanbul, Turkey. After the community grew in what was then the Pera district (Beyoglu and Galata) in the 1930s, Jewish-Turkish architects Elyo Ventura and Bernar Motola were asked to design the new synagogue. The Neve Shalom Synagogue is now the largest Sephardic Jewish temple in Istanbul, and is open for the community today. However, in recent years, the synagogue has suffered three terrorist attacks due to claims of Palestinian-Israeli conflicts.

Jewish Museum of Turkey (Zulfaris Museum), (officially Quincentennial Foundation Museum of Turkish Jews) is a cultural center established by the Quincentennial Foundation to inform the society of the traditions and history of Turkish Jewry. It was inaugurated on November 25, 2001. 113 Turkish citizens, Jews and Muslims alike to celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of Sephardim’s arrival to the Ottoman Empire, established the Quincentennial Foundation in 1989. Naim Guleryuz who is now its curator proposed the idea of a museum and the prominent Jewish Kamhi family financed the foundation.
