Synagogue of Trieste, Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Trieste, Italy.
The synagogue features three distinct naves leading to a grand apse decorated with golden mosaics and copper doors covered in precious metal.
Built between 1908 and 1912 under Austrian rule, the synagogue replaced four smaller worship spaces that served the Jewish community since the mid-18th century.
The interior design incorporates marble pillars, biblical verses across the ceiling, and traditional Jewish symbols including the Star of David and Trees of Life.
Located at Via San Francesco d'Assisi 19, the synagogue maintains regular religious services and includes community offices and a smaller oratory for daily use.
During World War II, the Nazis converted the building into a storage facility for art and literature taken from Jewish families in the region.
