The big synagogue of Florence was consecrated in 1882 just a few years after the emancipation of the Italian Jews in 1861. The synagogue is known as one of the most important examples for the exotic Moorish style in Europe. Many frescos on the wall, soft lightning shining through the glass windows and beautiful mosaic make the interior such a special highlight of the synagogue. Visitors can also take a look at the Museo Ebraico which was founded in 1981 and extended in 2007. Two floors portray a great collection of Jewish art. Pieces of silver and other important things from the old synagogues of the Florentine Jewish ghetto can be found in the museum as well as the history of Jewish culture in Florence displayed with pictures and documents.
