This building was a synagogue in the 12th century and later became a church. Five aisles are separated by rows of octagonal pillars carrying horseshoe arches, all painted white. The decoration is Mudéjar, with carved plaster capitals. It is one of the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in Spain and a short stop between the larger monuments.
What to look for
- Rows of horseshoe arches on octagonal pillars
- Carved plaster capitals
- The white interior and its light
- The altar from its time as a church
