Ashaghi Mahalla Synagogue (Azerbaijani: Aşağı məhəllə sinaqoqu, lit. 'Synagogue of the Lower Quarter'), is a Jewish synagogue, located in the city of Oghuz in the Republic of Azerbaijan.[1][2][3]
The Synagogue of the Lower Quarter, located on Gudrat Aghakishiev Street in the city of Oghuz, was built in 1849. After Soviet occupation, the synagogues edifice was used as a warehouse. After Azerbaijan regained its independence, the synagogue was restored by the local Jews (1992-1994).
