Synagogue, building in Sabbioneta, Italy
The synagogue in Sabbioneta is a Jewish house of prayer featuring two levels and classical columns throughout its main space. The ceiling showcases ornate stucco work with vaulting that creates a sense of reverence in the interior.
The Jewish community arrived in Sabbioneta in 1436 and initially set up a pawn shop for their livelihood. Under the protection of the Gonzaga family and later Austrian authorities, the community eventually built this house of prayer.
The name reflects the enduring Jewish community that made this place its own spiritual center over centuries. Visitors can still sense how the community gathered and worshipped here, with distinct areas for different members of the congregation.
Visitors can book a tour through the local information office at Via Teatro Olimpico 2 or call +39 0375 52039 to arrange a visit. Group tours provide access to the interior and allow time to observe the details of the prayer hall.
A fascinating feature is the women's gallery above the entrance, separated by a wooden grille, where women followed the prayers from above. This spatial arrangement reflects the separation of men and women that was central to prayer practices of the era.
