Built in 1180 by Moorish stonemasons, Santa María la Blanca Synagogue stands as a remarkable testament to the multicultural heritage of Toledo. This historic site, located in the heart of the city, exemplifies Mudéjar architecture with its intricate geometric patterns and arches. The synagogue’s interior features a series of horseshoe arches supported by slender columns, creating a serene and harmonious space. Today, visitors can explore this well-preserved structure, gaining insight into the coexistence of Muslims, Jews, and Christians during a significant period of Iberian history.
