Online Highways Home > Rhode Island > Newport City Map with Features Touro Synagogue National Historic Site Built in 1763, the synagogue is the oldest Jewish house of worship in the nation and the only one to survive Colonial times. It is considered an architectural masterpiece. Designed by Peter Harrison, the Georgian structure has a simple, almost austere exterior that contrasts with a graceful interior adorned with massive brass candelabras, hand-carved paneling, balustrades and 12 Ionic and Corinthian columns. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1946. It continues to serve an active congregation and proper dress is required for viewing. Read reviews and find hotels in Newport.
