Synagogue of Turin, Moorish Revival synagogue in San Salvario district, Turin, Italy.

The synagogue features four onion-domed towers, elaborate arches, and ornate decorations throughout its brick construction, accommodating 1,400 worshippers.

Following the sale of the unfinished Mole Antonelliana, architect Enrico Petiti completed this synagogue in 1884 to serve Turin's Jewish community.

The interior layout incorporates both traditional Jewish elements and local influences, with the tevah centrally positioned and surrounding pews.

The synagogue complex includes three prayer spaces: the main hall, the Tempio Piccolo in the basement, and a third room with artifacts from Turin's ghetto.

Allied bombing in 1942 destroyed the original furnishings, leading to a complete interior reconstruction between 1945 and 1949.
