The Jewish district of Maribor is locted in Lent, the oldest part of the town. On the Židovski trg, the Jewish square, visitors will find the Synagogue, now serving as the Center of Jewish Cultural Heritage in Maribor and organizing exhibitions, concerts, and other social events. Across from the Synagogue, there is a Jewish Tower that was once used for defense purposes, while beneath the plaza there is a medieval Jewish cemetery and a mikvah, the ceremonial bath.
