Siena Synagogue
Close to Piazza del Campo, Siena's synagogue hides an ornate eighteenth-century sanctuary behind a plain street front. A guided introduction and museum give context to the city's Jewish history.
The contrast between the restrained exterior and the decorated interior tells part of the story of Jewish life in Siena. Inside, the central bimah, Torah Ark and women's gallery reveal the arrangement of worship, while the museum adds historical context. This is an active place of worship, so its visitor arrangements deserve attention before you go.
