The Great Synagogue of Florence

The photo shows a view of Florence, Italy. I took this photo from Piazzale Michelangelo. The church which has a brilliant greenish dome is the Great Synagogue of Florence (Italiano: Sinagoga di Firenze or Tempio Maggiore Israelitico di Firenze). Synagogue is a building for a Jewish assembly or religious worship. I'm writing as a layman, but i've heard that the first Synagogue in Florence was built in the 13 century. The Great Synagogue of Florence was renovated after a massive flood in 1966.
