Founded in the historic Capodimonte neighbourhood, on the via Astagno, today’s synagogue which was built in 1876, houses the temples of both the Italian and the Levantine rites.
There is a shared entrance which leads to a wide staircase. A glass door to the left leads to a small oratory beneath the Levantin Temple. Its furnishings are those of the original synagogue built In1597 but demolished In 1932 by the Fascist Authorities to build a new road (today’s Corsa Stamira) in order to reduce the traffic flowing onto the Viale Adriatico from the Corso Tripoli (today’s Corso Amendola).
