Scolanova Synagogue, Medieval synagogue in Trani, Italy
The Scolanova Synagogue contains a rectangular masonry structure with a barrel-vaulted ceiling reaching 36 feet and features windows on the eastern wall.
Built in 1240, the synagogue was converted into a church in 1380 during anti-Jewish actions and returned to Jewish worship in 2005.
The building maintains both Jewish and Christian elements, including an oil painting of Saint Mary covered by a cloth decorated with a menorah.
The synagogue opens for visitors on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11 AM, with guided tours available in Italian, English, and French.
The basement of the synagogue preserves an original medieval mikveh, while the adjacent structure once contained a women's gallery.
