The Synagogue and the Jewish Museum of Florence

The Synagogue of Florence, designed by architect Marco Treves and inaugurated in 1882, is one of the most architecturally beautiful in Europe of exotic Moresque style. The exterior is characterized by its white travertine facade in limestone and pink. The beautiful dome of green is the only one in Florence coated with copper. Inside the walls are enriched with rich mosaics and wall decorations with arabesques and other interesting geometric patterns.

The Jewish Museum, founded in 1981, is arranged on two floors inside the synagogue and documents, on the one hand, the history of Jews in Florence over the centuries, and extraordinary devotion to home furnishings that illustrate the founding moments of life (birth, marriage, religious majority) and public holidays. You can also visit the Jewish cemetery.
