Padua Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Padua, Italy
The Padua Synagogue measures 18 meters in length and 7 meters in width, featuring black marble columns and gilded doors within its interior structure.
Constructed in 1548, this synagogue remained the only active Jewish place of worship in Padua from the Renaissance through World War II despite multiple renovations.
The synagogue houses both the Torah Ark and Bimah along its extended walls, differing from traditional Italian synagogue layouts that position them on opposite ends.
Visitors can schedule guided tours through the Jewish Museum or attend Saturday morning prayer services to experience this religious structure.
The Torah Ark contains wood from a plane tree struck by lightning in the University of Padua botanical garden, incorporating local materials into religious architecture.
