Great Synagogue of Rome

Great Synagogue of Rome stands in Rome, Lazio as the monumental principal synagogue of Rome, inaugurated in 1904 beside the former Jewish Ghetto. The documentary chronology is distinct from later devotional interpretation. After Rome became part of the Kingdom of Italy and Jewish citizens obtained full civil rights, the community planned a monumental synagogue in the former ghetto district.

The building was inaugurated in 1904. Architecturally, Monumental eclectic synagogue with Art Nouveau interior. Designed by Osvaldo Armanni and Vincenzo Costa, with a distinctive square-based dome and richly decorated interior.

Regular sacred use includes: Jewish prayer and community worship. The site is officially recorded as Tempio Maggiore di Roma. The responsible religious body listed for the site is Jewish Community of Rome.

The synagogue is a living Jewish religious and cultural site, not only a monument. Security and visitor access can vary around Shabbat, festivals and community events, so current arrangements should be checked with the Jewish community before visiting.
