The Great Synagogue of Florence or Tempio Maggiore is one of the largest synagogues in South-central Europe.<br/><br/> The Jewish community in Florence is composed of about 1,400 people. However, it has a long history which reaches back to the medieval era. In addition, there was a nearby Jewish community in the Oltrarno area, south of the Arno river, that dates to the Roman era. It is thought that the first synagogue was probably built in the 13th century.
