Synagogue, Jewish religious complex in Ancona, Italy

The synagogue building on Via Astagno contains both Levantine and Italian rites sections, featuring five high arched stained glass windows across its facade.

The current structure, completed in 1876, replaced earlier synagogues that were demolished, including one destroyed by Papal troops and another removed during the Fascist period.

The synagogue houses an impressive wooden and stucco aron topped with a golden crown, flanked by ten columns with Corinthian capitals painted to resemble marble.

Located in the historical Jewish quarter near the port, the synagogue opens its doors to visitors during special events and Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The aron features embossed silver doors crafted in Spanish style, a rare architectural element among Italian synagogues.
