Assuming the questioner is asking where the 10 Statements are located in a synagogue, the answer is that if a synagogue has the 10 Statements on display, they are usually located on or above the ark containing the Torahs at the front of the prayer sanctuary.

Who built the first Jewish Synagogue?
The institution of the synagogue appears to have originated between the time of the Babylonian exile an the time of Jesus. There were no synagogues before the exile, and there were lots of them by the time of Jesus. Nobody knows who built the first one, nor do we know whether it was built in Babylon before the return from exile or in Judea and Galilee after the return. It is almost certain that the first synagogue was organized using an existing building, and that the institution of the synagogue was around for a while before the first purpose-built synagogue was built.
