Great Synagogue of Florence, Moorish Revival synagogue in Florence, Italy
The synagogue presents an exterior of white travertine and pink limestone, crowned by a copper central dome and two symmetrical side towers.
Construction of the synagogue began in 1870 after David Levi donated his estate, marking a period of Jewish emancipation in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
The prayer hall contains walls decorated with geometric patterns and arabesques in gold, created by painter Giovanni Panti using Moorish design elements.
Entrance tickets cost 9 euros, with reduced rates for students and free admission for children under six, disabled visitors, and Firenze Card holders.
German forces attempted to destroy the building with explosives in 1944, but Italian resistance fighters managed to defuse most of the devices.
