  • Located centrally within the Jewish Quarter,
  • The Spanish Synagogue has recently undergone an impressive restoration, enhancing both its historical and architectural significance.

This stunning venue boasts interior decorations featuring low plaster arabesques with stylized Islamic themes. These motifs are elegantly incorporated into the walls, doors, and gallery balustrades of the synagogue.
