Protein synthesis takes place **on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell**.
In eukaryotic cells, the process involves transcription (which occurs in the nucleus) and translation (which occurs on the ribosomes in the cytoplasm). The ribosomes can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER), but the actual synthesis of proteins occurs at the ribosomes.
