Scolanova Synagogue

Trani, Italy

The Scolanova Synagogue (English: New Synagogue) is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Via Sinagoga 47, in the town of Trani, Apulia, in southern Italy. Built by the Italian–Jewish community of Apulia during the Middle Ages, the building was acquired by the Roman Catholic Church in 1380 during a wave of antisemitism and served as St. Maria's Church (Santa Maria in Scolanova) until it was deconsecrated and returned to the Jewish community in 2006. The building has been restored for use as a synagogue.
