Great Synagogue of Rome (Tempio Maggiore di Roma)

Inaugurated in 1904, the Great Synagogue of Rome (Tempio Maggiore di Roma) stands on the site of the former Rome Jewish Ghetto, overlooking the Tiber River. This architectural gem, with its distinctive Assyrian-Babylonian style and art nouveau interiors, serves as a living testament to one of Europe’s oldest Jewish communities. Inside, visitors can explore the Jewish Museum of Rome, which offers insights into the rich history and culture of the local Jewish population. The synagogue continues to function as an important place of worship, welcoming both congregants and visitors to experience its unique blend of history and spirituality.
