Open to the public, it offers a unique opportunity to explore the history and Jewish culture in the region.
The Pesaro Synagogue is located in Via delle Scuole and is an important historical site for the local Jewish community.
Originally, in the 16th century, there were two synagogues nearby in the ghetto established in 1632: one of the Italian rite and one of the Spanish rite (Sephardic).
The Sephardic Synagogue, frequented by Jewish exiles from Spain and Portugal after the persecutions of 1555, was demolished in 1957 because it was unusable following the 1930 earthquake.
The Italian Synagogue, on the other hand, is the one that survives today and can be visited
The building of the Italian Synagogue, built in the 16th century and modified in the following centuries, is inserted into the urban fabric of the ghetto without distinctive external signs, for security reasons.
Al piano terra si trovano il forno per la cottura del pane azzimo, la vasca per i bagni rituali di purificazione e un pozzo.
On the first floor, the prayer room with the Holy Ark (Aròn) and the pulpit (Tevàh) arranged on opposite walls.
The ceiling is decorated with stucco and rosettes that recall the Della Rovere, dukes who protected the Jewish community of Pesaro.
Open to the public with guided tours, especially in the summer months and on the occasion of cultural events such as the Day of Jewish Culture.
Admission is free, open only on Thursdays at certain times, to be verified.
