Despite the last example, Jewish Baroque was different from its Christian counterpart, which aspired to create an illusion of the infinite, the mysterious, and the unattainable. Although Jewish Baroque was an excellent artistic imitation of the Christian model, it lacked the model's characteristic religious commitment. On the contrary, the material means of the synagogues were not intended to achieve the infinite. That goal was attainable exclusively through prayer and meditation.

Now only the Sephardic or Spanish Synagogue is left since the near unsafed Italian Sinagogue has been destroyed in the 40s .

Set in the heart of the old town , within the old city walls , the synagogue does not appear from the outside like a religious place : its enclosed in a building facing “Via del Ghetto Grande” (now Sara Levi Nathan Street)

In this building togheter with the administration department were the Jewish school, the nursery school , the Jeshiva of Cabala studies, the front of the building is south-east directed, toward Jerusalem. There you can find the big entrance for men, as well as the smallest one for women. The entrance for men has got a little door made of stone and renewed in the 19 th century in this time in order to find space for the lunotto, the doors height is reduced, but the number of the frames in each door is not reduced (so the fifth frame on the top was smaller than the others) in fact, according with the Cabala, the number five is important : remember the sentence “ Your hand has got five fingers, and not four, its made to give, not to take. The door , recently renewed, has got today 6 frames, other things during the renovation has been changed.
