Synagogue of Trieste
Sinagoga di Trieste
One of Europe's largest synagogues, completed in 1912, blending Syrian and Romanesque styles, with a Jewish community museum attached.
The facade is built of stone with round windows and arches in a Near Eastern style, and the interior is vast and splendid. Visits are only possible on guided tours with limited time slots, and you must present identification and pass security checks, so booking on the official website in advance is recommended. The Jewish Community Museum (Carlo e Vera Wagner) is located elsewhere and covers the history of Trieste's Jews. Admission is a few euros. The synagogue is closed on Jewish holidays and on the Sabbath.
