Architectural study on the religious buildings of collective character built by the Jewish community of Buenos Aires in the 19t and 20th centuries and where the synagogues are the best examples. Their choices of architectural styles or languages responded to the historic moment when these buildings were constructed and respond to the preferences of each group according to their origin or its constructors or architects. The study analyses their morphology, mostly monumental, outside the city limits, and loaded inside and outside with ornaments and visible symbols of Judaism.
