Synagogue — Padua is a synagogue in Padua, Italy.
The Italian Synagogue (1548) is still the prayer site for the members of the Community of Padua. The hall is marked out by the elegant and refined “marmorino” decorations and delicate stucco works dating back to neoclassic times.
The polychrome marble Aron-ha-Kodesh –the sacred chamber- is positioned on the Eastern Wall facing Jerusalem and opposite the Bimah. They say the Bimah- the lectern- was made from the wood of a centennial tree uprooted during a storm in the town Botanical Gardens.
