Synagogue of Pisa

The synagogue features a large staircase leading to a worship hall decorated with geometric patterns and a women's gallery above the entrance.

The Jewish presence in Pisa dates back to 850, making it the earliest documented Jewish settlement in Tuscany with records spanning over a millennium.

The synagogue arranges the Nessiah Festival, presenting international artists performing Jewish music, theatre, cinema, literature, and dance performances.

The synagogue building, purchased in 1647, underwent renovations in 1785 and 1861, incorporating neoclassical elements while maintaining its traditional functions.

Architect Marco Treves designed the interior with the tevah enclosed by a walnut wood balustrade next to the Aron ha-Kodesh, creating a central focal point.
