The Synagogue stands in a lush garden enclosed by a cast-iron gate, the work of artist Pasquale Franci.

The interior immediately captivates with its strong presence of golden light, Giovanni Panti's decorative coverings painted in red and blue arabesques, and polychrome stained glass windows.

The upper women's galleries are closed by wrought-iron gates adorned with seven-armed candelabra; the Aron haQodesh is covered in mosaics and framed by the canopy; the latter is surmounted by the Tables of the Law.

At the end of the right aisle we find the oratory named after Rabbi Samuel Zvi Margulies.
