Jewish Guide to Florence

Florence's Jewish community flourished under the Medici and is crowned by one of the most beautiful synagogues in Europe — the Great Synagogue of Florence (Tempio Maggiore), completed in 1882 in a striking Moorish-Byzantine style, its green dome a landmark of the city.

The community maintains the synagogue, a Jewish museum, and kosher facilities.
