Siena synagogue, Religious museum and synagogue in central Siena, Italy.
The Siena Synagogue incorporates Neoclassical and Rococo elements, featuring a central lectern from 1756 and nine 18th-century ten-armed candelabra.
Architect Giuseppe Del Rosso completed the synagogue in 1786, replacing an earlier structure that stood near Piazza del Campo during the ghetto period.
The Jewish Museum within the synagogue presents artifacts spanning 700 years, including an intricately carved Elijah's Chair created by Giorgio Bandini in 1860.
Visitors can access the synagogue from Monday through Friday between 10:30 AM and 3:00 PM, with extended hours during the April to October season.
The building maintains a discreet exterior due to historical restrictions, while its interior displays marble columns, curvilinear pediments, and decorated stucco ceilings.
