Biella Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Piazzo district, Biella, Italy
The synagogue occupies the upper floor of a medieval building, featuring a rectangular prayer hall with wooden benches along the walls and a central reading table.
The Jewish community established this synagogue in 1725 following the creation of the Biella ghetto, reflecting similar developments across the Piedmont region at that time.
The prayer hall contains an ornate Torah Ark decorated in green and gold, positioned on the eastern wall according to Jewish religious traditions.
The entrance through Vicolo del Bellone leads to a vestibule with a stone staircase ascending to the main prayer room and women's gallery.
The synagogue houses a thirteenth-century Torah scroll, which maintains its status as the oldest Torah scroll still actively used in religious services.
