Editing Romaniote Jews (section)

==== Athens ====
The Ioanniotiki Synagogue, situated above the Jewish Community of Athens offices at #8 Melidoni St., is the only Romaniote synagogue in [[Athens]]. Built in 1906, it now has services only during the [[High Holy Days]], but can be opened for visitors upon request through the Jewish Community office.

The [[Jewish identity]] of another building found in the excavations of the ancient Agora in Athens, is questionable. It is believed that the [[Metroon]], discovered in 1930 at the foot of the hill [[Temple of Hephaestus|Hephaestion]] (Thesion) was used as a synagogue during its construction at the end of the 4th century CE (396–400). This view was expressed by the archaeologist H. Thompson, from the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, but was not developed into a complete theory. The [[Jewish identity]] of the Metroon was based on a small piece of marble found near the Metroon that had two Jewish symbols carved on one side, and the resemblance of the building to the synagogue of Sardis in Asia Minor.
