Synagogue, Religious building in Naples, Italy
Description
The Naples Synagogue is located on the first floor of a building on Via Cappella Vecchia 31 and features a rectangular prayer hall with a central tevah at its center. The space includes conference rooms, administrative offices, and the rabbi's residence within the same structure.
