Sinagoga di Parma

The polygonal prayer hall features marble-like painted walls intersected by dark-capped columns beneath a central skylight in the ceiling.

The Jewish community returned to Parma in the 19th century after their expulsion in 1555, leading to the synagogue's construction in 1866.

The wooden Aron from the 18th century, originally from Colorno Synagogue, stands alongside nineteenth-century furnishings including the tevah and benches.

The prayer hall is accessed through two staircases, while a third stairway leads to the women's gallery overlooking the main space.

During World War II, the synagogue's silver items and furnishings found refuge in the Palatine Library until the conflict ended.
