The synagogue, currently located in Via Govi 13, is the exact transposition of the ancient Norsa Synagogue Tower, Founded in the early 16th century, it was the beating heart of the Jewish community until the early 20th century, when it was demolished as part of the ghetto redevelopment project, along with countless homes and shops. Before demolition, all the 18th-century furnishings were moved to Via Govi, plaster casts of the stucco work were made, and the flooring and windows were removed, so that the ancient place of worship could be faithfully reproduced in the new building. The splendid prayer hall is presented as follows: a quadrangular plan, characterized by large windows extending along each of the two longer sides. At the center are two niches housing the Aron and the Tevah, the cabinet that holds the sacred texts, and the pulpit, both made of finely crafted wood and adorned with precious embroidered furnishings.
The upper register of the entrance wall features a double gallery (matroneum and choir). The same composition is found on the opposite wall, where a false matroneum gallery is painted.
Frames, floral stucco decorations and fourteen cartouches containing verses from the psalms embellish the other walls and the ceiling.
