A local would say...

Found by accident under an electrician's shop — one of Europe's oldest synagogues, hidden for 500 years

When an Argentine investor bought a run-down electrician's store with an eye to converting it into central Barcelona's umpteenth bar, he could hardly have known he had stumbled onto the remains of what could be the city's main medieval synagogue. Discovered in 1996, one of Europe's oldest. A guide will explain what is thought to be the significance of the site.
