The synagogue located at Jew Street in North Paravur was built in 1615 C.E. There is a two-storey padippura in front of the synagogue. The main synagogue is separated from the padippura by an open space. A pillared corridor leads from the two rooms at the main entrance to the prayer area, which contains two rooms; a rectangular meeting room and the main prayer room. A balcony, supported by decorated timber columns and beams, overlooks the main room and behind this balcony is the women's gallery. The original Bimah (the elevated wooden platform from which the Torah was read) and the ornamental Ark were taken from Paravur to Israel in 1995. They are now replicated.
