Begin your journey through the streets and alleys of medieval Lecce, focusing on its Jewish community. Visit Via della Sinagoga, the ancient path that led to one of the most important synagogues in Salento. Next, discover Vico della Saponea and walk along Via Abramo Balmes, a street dedicated to one of the city's most influential Jewish figures.

Visit the basement of the old synagogue which now houses the Jewish Museum. Here you will find purification tanks, mikvehs and a mezuzah. Learn more about the Jewish community, including why Jews were forced to leave Lecce.
