The Kupa Synagogue, also known as the Synagogue of the Poor, is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, that is located at 8 Warszauera Street, in the historic Kazimierz district of Kraków, in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland. The 17th-century former synagogue is located in a neighborhood earmarked in 1495 by King John I Albert for the Jewish community, that was transferred from the budding Old Town.
Devastated by Nazis during World War II, the former synagogue was used for profane purposes until 1991; and has subsequently operated as a Jewish museum since 1996. The building served Kraków's Jewish community as one of the venues for religious ceremonies and cultural festivals, notably the annual Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków.
