Sinagoga Norsa Torrazzo, 18th century synagogue in Mantua, Italy
The Sinagoga Norsa Torrazzo features marble floors in pink and white squares, with separate entrances for men and women following traditional practices.
Built in 1513 and renovated in 1751, the synagogue survived the demolition of Mantua's Jewish quarter between 1899 and 1902 by relocating to Via Govi.
The prayer hall contains Hebrew biblical verses in stucco decorations, along with two monumental niches housing the wooden Aron and Tevah upon three steps.
The synagogue functions as a national monument open to visitors, housing both the Jewish Community of Mantua and the Mantova Jewish Cultural Association.
The historical archive preserves documents dating from 1522 to 1861, including 19th-century musical scores and Jewish court documentation.
