The quay offers stunning open views of the river and Great War Island, making it an ideal spot for photography and short breaks by the water.

While the building no longer serves its original religious purpose, its exterior still preserves elegant architectural details and symbolic elements that speak of its past significance. Here, travelers will learn about the Jewish families who lived and worked in Zemun, their role in trade, culture, and everyday life, as well as the dramatic changes brought by the 20th century.
