Toledo (Castilla la Mancha), Spain

This synagogue (Jewish house of prayer), originally known as Ibn Shushan, was thought to have been built in the late 12th or early 13th century.  Later in the 15th century it was taken over by the Catholic church.  Of the ten synagogues that once stood in Toledo, this one and another still stand today.  They are open to the public as museums.
