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.

The visit to the museum was very interesting. There are remains of a synagogue and a mikveh, along with many sources about the history of the Jews in the Lecce area. This is particularly important because most of the Jewish sites in the city have not been preserved.
We had to wait an hour until the tour started, but it was worth it. The tour was very good.

Extraordinary tour with a wonderfully engaging guide who went “The extra mile” for us. A worthwhile journey through time. It’s wonderful that the museum is seeking to preserve a history that many others would soon bury or forget.

It was a wonderful tour, with a delightful guide who added so much to what was already shown on the walls and exhibits.
I highly recommend it!
