The courtyard of the Meeting of Cultures Centre is the venue for the yearly Dąbrowa Blues Nights and other cultural events (concerts, temporary exhibitions). It is located above an underground passage and exhibition rooms dedicated to the material culture of the Polish countryside and the history of the region. Looking from the courtyard, one has a magnificent view of the bas-relief signs of the Zodiac located in the upper part of the elevation and one of the 4 biblical animals depicted in the Talmud, as well as the crown-shaped finials of the towers (a reference to the symbol of the Crown of the Good Name appearing in the inscriptions and polychrome in the former Prayer Room). From the western part of the courtyard, the view of the Dąbrowa synagogue is at its most beautiful, the front wall presenting its eclectic face (columns with exotic capitals, Moorish towers with crown-shaped roofs, and arcades on the first and second floors of the former church porch). The building was built in 1862 through the efforts of the Jewish community in Dąbrowa with a significant contribution from Isaac Stern’s private funds (as evidenced by the inscription on the outside of the eastern wall). Commissioned cafén 1865, it was remodelled and extensively renovated in the 1930saccording to the design by the Tarnów architect Dora Mertz. During World War II it was destroyed by the Germans, who used it as a fodder and grain storehouse, and it was a crumbling ruin until 2009. After 3 years of construction and restoration work, it was given a new life (the official opening took place in 2012).
