Florence Synagogue - a photo on Flickriver

Florence Synagogue

The Great Synagogue of Florence or Tempio Maggiore was built in 1874-82. The architects were Mariano Falcini, Professor Vincente Micheli, and Marco Treves, who was Jewish. Their design integrated the architectural traditions of the Islamic and Italian worlds.
Inside the building "every square inch is covered with colored designs," in Moorish patterns.

During World War II Fascist troops used the synagogue as a vehicle garage. In August 1944, retreating German troops worked with Italian Fascists to destroy the synagogue, but the Italian resistance managed to defuse most of the explosives. Only a limited amount of damage was done. The synagogue was restored after the war. It was restored again after damage by massive flooding in 1966.

Among the Great synagogue of Florence replicas, the 1892 Eutaw Place Temple of Temple Oheb Shalom (Baltimore, Maryland) has been sold and converted into of massonic lodge.
