Jewish traditions in Florence: private walking tour
Overview
Come and discover the Florentine Jewish world!
The origin of the Jewish community in Florence, which today numbers almost a thousand people, began even before the period of regency of the Medici family, with the trade of fabrics, fine textiles and money movements of the first Florentine banks.
The prosperity of the business continued for many centuries, until the creation of the Jewish ghetto in 1500s and then the construction of the splendid Synagogue in the late 1800s.
To know the history and the events that bind Florence and the Jewish people, join our tour, in an itinerary that touches all the places where there are traces of the flourishing Jewish society: the Ponte Vecchio, Borgo San Jacopo, Repubblic square (where once the Jewish ghetto was found), Duomo square, today’s Jewish Quarter, the Museum of Jewish Traditions and the Synagogue, wonderful Moorish-style structure, with its unmistakable copper-green dome.
We will discover together the traces of Jewish history in Florence!
