Description
The Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanco, located in the Jewish quarter of Toldeo, Spain, is the oldest standing synagogue in Europe. Created by Moorish architects for non-Islamic purposes and considered to be one of the finest examples of Almohad architecture, it was completed in 1180. With its repeating arches and decorative pillars, all in bright white and gold, the synagogue is beautiful and well worth a visit if you are in Toledo.
