Little Jerusalem

You'll find Little Jerusalem in Pitigliano. It's the nickname given to the historic Jewish quarter of this village, which was once home to a flourishing Jewish community. There you'll discover a 16th-century synagogue, a kosher bread oven, wine cellars, and ritual baths carved into the tuff. It's not just an old stone building, it's a story of coexistence and resilience, an unexpected facet of the Maremma. Visiting Pitigliano also means exploring this part of its identity, understanding how different cultures have shaped the landscape and local life.
