1355 built synagogue with stunning Mudéjar ceiling — now Spain's Sephardic Jewish museum

This magnificent synagogue was built in 1355 by special permission from Pedro I. The vast main prayer hall has been expertly restored — the Mudéjar decoration and intricately carved pine ceiling are striking. It now houses the Museo Sefardí, with exhibits on the history of Jewish culture in Spain including ceremonial artefacts, costumes and a memorial garden.
