Trieste Synagogue

The synagogue in Trieste is a very impressive building that was built over a century ago. Its interior and exterior are reminiscent of Catholic churches, but all the elements and decorations are completely Jewish. Visiting the synagogue is only possible through organized visits that must be booked in advance and are given at very specific times. The guidance is given in Italian and English but not in Hebrew. In the museum, there is a small souvenir shop. All the people associated with the synagogue were very kind and nice and the feeling was completely homely. The cost of the visit is 7 euros.

The historic Trieste Synagogue is stunning! It has amazing acoustics and a rich history. Entry is just €7, and the local Jewish community is welcoming and friendly. A beautiful, peaceful spot to explore!

The synagogue has very specific visiting hours, and you really have to be on time. The building itself is beautiful and fascinating, both from a religious standpoint and from a historical perspective. The guide we had gave explanations mostly in Italian, but she translated to English, and she answered questions. She was pleasant and very well informed. Definitely worth a visit.

Interesting and beautiful...but very limited opening times. Be on time, because it is run by guided tour only! 7.-/person. Explanations in Italian and English.

One of the largest synagogues in Europe, it was designed to cater for a growing community of over 6000 at the turn of the 20th century; a community which was tragically decimated during the Second World War. With its space, Greek cross floor plan and rose window, it has the air of a catholic Church. There are very interesting bilingual guided tours in Italian/English 1-2 times a day from Sunday to Thursday.

Historical Trieste synagogue in the center of Trieste, the current building dating over 100 years. Unfortunately we went on Saturday so it was closed. However the architecture is stunning and worth walking around the outside.

A nice temple, can be visited some days in the afternoon. Guided visit

Very interesting to visit. Guided tour.
