Jewish Quarter: Jewish Museum of Rome + Tempio Maggiore

Step into the Jewish Museum of Rome to explore the vibrant tapestry of Jewish life in Rome, a tale that began in the 2nd century BC. The museum offers a seamless window into a community that has flourished in Rome for over two millennia, standing as a testament to one of the oldest Jewish communities. The exhibits, mostly from the Ghetto period (1555-1870), proudly reside in the magnificent Palazzo delle Cinque Scole, also known as the Palace of the Five Synagogues. The museum also has an expansive collection of liturgical furnishings, manuscripts, incunabula, historical documents, registers, and marble works.
