The Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca in the old Jewish quarter of Toledo.
Now a museum, the building was erected in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, making it possibly the oldest synagogue building still standing in Europe.
It's remarkable survival is thanks to being converted to a Catholic church in the early 15th century.
