About the Synagogue
The Synagogue and Jewish Museum of Florence is one of the most important landmarks of Jewish heritage in Italy. Built between 1874 and 1882, the synagogue reflects the period following Jewish emancipation, when the Jewish community of Florence gained full civil rights and sought a visible place of worship within the city. Its distinctive Moorish-style architecture and copper-green dome make it a recognizable feature of Florence’s skyline.
Inside, the synagogue preserves richly decorated interiors, including the main prayer hall, original furnishings, and ceremonial objects still used by the local Jewish community. Adjacent to the synagogue, the Jewish Museum presents the history of Jewish life in Florence from the Middle Ages to the present day. Exhibits include religious artifacts, textiles, manuscripts, and documents that illustrate daily life, traditions, and moments of cultural exchange within the city.
