Stryi is a city on the left bank of the River Stryi, in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, 78 km from Lviv. The Great Synagogue in Stryi was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Although it stands without a roof for dozens of years, remnants of wall painting are still preserved and it is still a very impressive building. Small old houses, which belonged to Jews, surround the synagogue.

The photographs made by Dr. Vladimir Levin in Stryi in August 2009 see at  the Gallery section.
