Colmar is situated on the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the "capital of Alsatian wine" (capitale des vins d'Alsace). The city is renowned for its well-preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks, and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum.
Colmar's Synagogue was built in 1843 in a Neoclassic style. At its peak, in 1870, the Jewish community of Alsace numbered 35,000 people. There has been a Jewish population in Alsace at least since 1000 when the Frankish monarchy ruled the area. Today there is a small Jewish community in Colmar.
