The Great Synagogue in Jarosław, built in 1810–1811 on what is now Opolska Street, is the largest surviving example of Jewish architecture in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. It currently serves as an exhibition space affiliated with the Secondary School of Fine Arts.

The brick building, designed on a square plan measuring approximately 25 by 25 metres, is distinguished by its monumental massing, mansard roof, and façades featuring large windows with semicircular arches.

The interior houses a two-storey main prayer hall with a unique nine-bay hall-type cross vault supported by four pillars topped with Ionic capitals.

Since 1962, the building has been home to the Secondary School of Fine Arts, and its monumental main prayer hall now serves as a distinctive exhibition space for art shows and cultural events. The property remains under the care of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage.
