Es un interesante museo junto a la basílica de la Santa Cruz. Uno de los nobles judíos que regresaron en el S.XVI, compró la propiedad para sepultura propia, sabiendo que se trataba de un palacio medieval. Sin embargo, en los siglos posteriores se hicieron obras de excavación, y lo que hoy en día se puede admirar en este museo es fruto de ello, y se ha descubierto fue una sinagoga. La entrada cuesta 5€. Hay visitas guiadas: 10, 10.45, 11.30, 12.15, 13, 15, 15.45, 16.30, 17.15, 18.15. Cierra los sábados.

La ciudad de Lecce tenía una importante comunidad hebrea, descendientes de los sefardíes españoles. No vivían en un ghetto sino que era un área abierta, siguiendo los motivos religiosos. En Grecia existía la Sinagoga de Otranto, lo que habla de una comunidad antigua a la que hacía referencia ya. Los judíos en la Puglia fueron muchos. Solo los descendientes de la comunidad de Lecce hablan de ellos a partir del S.XIV, aunque estaban mucho antes ya esclavizados por los romanos. Fueron protegidos personalmente por María de Anjou en 1440, pero más tarde les obliga a llevar un círculo rojo para distinguirlos. La Inquisición se produce tres años más tarde, en 1495 y en el año 1541, el emperador Carlos V obliga a todos los judíos de la ciudad a irse y elimina todo signo judío que existe. Construye la basílica sobre el mercado de los judíos en 1549. Los que deciden quedarse se les denomina “marrani”, pero la inmensa mayoría emigra. Algunos vuelven en 1560.

Hay una inscripción en hebreo que dice: esta es la casa de Dios, sueño de Jacob. Bajo tierra hay descubiertos unos baños, pero según la tradición hebraica no son propios para la purificación, porque no son de uso individual y porque se necesita que el agua fluya directamente de un manantial. Puede que sirviesen para la purificación en la fiesta de la Pascua. Existe también en uno de los muros, en el que se cree era la entrada a la sinagoga, pues se colocaba junto a la jamba de la puerta una mezuzá, el rollo de pergamino con el Shemá. En el interior también se conserva una bonita columna con el rostro del que se cree es San Francisco de Paula. Alberga un café y hay habitaciones donde hospedarse conocido como Vico...

I did not expect to learn so much here. The friendly guides offer tours in several languages. There is not much to see but what they do have is truly unique and the stories and research they share are abundant. I wish They had a book available of all the information I learned here. The museum shoes plans for future exhibits and I would gladly return. They also have a unique gift shop with an array of beautiful keepsakes as well as wine and other shelf stable food items. They day I went there was an artist working on site....

Highly recommend this wonderful museum delineating two periods of Jewish history in Lecce. Included with the entrance fee, you are given a thorough tour explaining the historical significance of the building as well as the two periods of history. The English tour is very well done. There are many artifacts which were given to the museum by Jewish families that passed through Salento after WWII, which add authenticity and emotion to this museum. This museum is a must see during your...

The team behind the museum are amazing people. Pay a visit to Michelangelo the guy in the tourist office next to the museum as he is one of the founders of this museum. His team are lovely. My friend and I were visiting Lecce today during Covid where there are no tourists and they welcomed us and gave us a lovely tour. You can see it on youtube on my channel Faithfultoself

Wonderful museum of medieval Jewish community of Lecce. Take the tour with Mirabel, a wonderful guide in English. Thank you to the Khalili family who made this museum posible. And to Michelangelo who asked himself 3 years ago, ‘why is this street called the vía di sinogogo?’
