<P> The Dura - Europos synagogue ( or `` Dura Europas '' , `` Dura Europos '' etc . ) is an ancient synagogue uncovered at Dura - Europos , Syria , in 1932 . The last phase of construction was dated by an Aramaic inscription to 244 CE , making it one of the oldest synagogues in the world . It is unique among the many ancient synagogues that have emerged from archaeological digs as the structure was preserved virtually intact , and it had extensive figurative wall - paintings , which came as a considerable surprise to scholars . These paintings are now displayed in the National Museum of Damascus . </P>
