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 informative and interesting. Learning more about the diaspora was helpful in putting the pieces together. Our guide, Chiara was wonderful.

Chiara was an absolutely excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and friendly. She listened to questions and answered them clearly and intelligently. She was not ashamed to say that she didn’t know the answer to domestic violence questions such as how many Jews were living in Lecce on the 1930s because there are no records. We do hope she goes far as she finds work that is suitably challenging to a young lady who has studied hard.
All the best Chiara from John and Gudrun (England - 0787 967 7738)

We were only 2 people (as a couple) for the tour but that made the experience extra personal. We learned about the architecture and history and at the same time we got to know our guide better. He showed genuine interest in us and we had a spontaneous conversation about our experiences with musicianship. Very nice man with an extensive knowledge about the city. It's worth it.
