A terrific little collection of old Jewish artifacts, but the real star of this attraction is the building itself from the 15th century. The attendant is an enthusiastic guide back in time and do buy a post card or two to help support the costs of keeping the museum open. Also, be sure to have lunch down the block at... More

The synagogue, dating from the mid 1400s, is well preserved and worth a visit.

As someone with Jewish connections, it is always interesting to find an ancient synogogue like this one. It was really interesting and unexpected in such an overwhelmingly catholic country.

Really enjoyed the visit to the museum, even though some artefacts had been removed for preservation. There is some welcomed on-going work on this important monument and it should look great when completed, especially with its settting in the old Jewish quarter (Juderia).
