Synagogue

The area of ​​the ancient ghetto is located in the isolation of Stallacce Street and the Walls of Valbona. The origin of the Israeli community of Urbino is linked to the history of the economy, in particular to the management of bank lending .
The Urbino Synagogue is the palace that is isolated at the bottom of Via Stretta at the corner with the Teatro alla Scala, near the walls. The building, externally inspired by the shapes of the eighteenth century, is internally neoclassical. The large apsed hall, illuminated by the window at hundred to the Mercatale and four lunette windows on the side of the mountain, occupies about two-thirds of the area of ​​the building, which on the same floor also houses the vestibule and some accessories. upstairs there is a gallery where four patio-like parcels are facing. The architectural design seems to be of exquisitely neo-classical style whose source seems to be the Valadier cathedral with the decoration then added by Rondelli and even by the bishop Angeloni. Consider, for example, the Ion halves that support the current architraved band all around the perimeter wall of the classroom; the typical frieze design that adorns and lightens the same band; the four-part tunnel design; finally, the reason for some octagon-in-shell-with stucco rocks very similar to those of the Duomo dome.
