The museum is located in a medieval building, which encompasses the remains of a 15th century synagogue, which was right in the centre of the Jewish district in Lecce.
Visitors to the museum can see the pools that were once used for ritual bathing (mikwa'ot), the doorpost groove that housed the sacred parchment with religious verses from the Scriptures (mezuzah), as well as significant remains of the church that partially incorporated the
earlier synagogue.
Visitors are invited to follow the threads linking the Jewish presence in Lecce and Salento from the Middle Ages up to the present day.

Very interesting tour, our guide Diletta was amazing! She knew the subject very well and knew how to share it. We really enjoyed out time with Diletta!
We didn’t know anything about the Jewish history in Lecce and this tour is a great introduction to understand it.
Besides the museum we walked a bit in the neighborhood.
We had the extended tour, museum and walk.
I highly recommend it if you are in Lecce and want to know about it’s history and the history of the Jewish community centuries ago.

I was in January, a few days ago, visiting this museum and I was amazed by both the organization and the deep preparation of Massimiliano who guided us in this wonderful and suggestive path. I highly recommend it to all visitors to Lecce ???????? hope to return in the future!

The tour I was able to take part in was very varied and a lot of exciting information about Jewish history in Lecce was told.
I would highly recommend the form of a guided tour, as this allows the attention to be paid to the important things.
The only slight downer that the book for the exhibition is not available in German, here I would have liked to have dealt with this exciting subject in more depth.
Nevertheless: A truly unique museum, which is a must for a visit to Lecce.
