The Scolanova Synagogue in Trani, Italy was first built sometime in the 13th century. It was used for over century as a synagogue until 1380 when a wave of antisemitism overcame the city and Scolanova and three other synagogues were seized by Christians. The four synagogues of Trani were turned into churches and the remaining Jewish population was forced to convert to Christianity – Scolanova Synagogue was renamed Santa Maria in Scolanova.
The building was largely unaltered and used as a church until after WWII. In 2006, the church was desacralized and converted back into a synagogue and was recently repaired in 2015. Today, the synagogue is used by the small Jewish community still living in Trani.
