Full description

The Great Synagogue of Florence, inaugurated in 1882, is a Moorish-style building recognisable by its green copper dome. Visitors come for the richly decorated, mosaic-lined interior and for the small adjoining museum, which gives a concise account of the city's Jewish community.

Reviewers rank it among the most beautiful synagogues they have seen, and describe it as large though smaller than Rome's. The visit takes around an hour and suits solo travellers and anyone interested in architecture and local history.

It is closed on Saturdays.
