I believe it is the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere.
I happens to be a Sephardic congregation. (Mediterranean origin)
We visited it when we were in Curacau.
It is an operating synagogue not a tourist stop. As I recall there is a request for no flash pictures and men should have their heads covered when entering the building.
