Synagogue of Saint Mary the White, Castile-La Mancha, Spain

4.0 (1.931 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #29 in Castile-La Mancha Religious Sites

This place captivates with its beauty and harmony

The synagogue is located in the Jewish quarter of Toledo. Very architecturally beautiful interior. The synagogue was built at the turn of the 12th / 13th century in the Mudejar style. In 1405, the faithful from the nearby parish of Santiago de Arrabal seized the synagogue and converted it into the Church of Santa María la Blanca. The name came from the white color of the walls. The building is not very large, very well-kept, with moderation in its ornamentation, and enchants with its simplicity. It doesn't take long to see it, but it's definitely worth seeing.

    Beautiful building, very peaceful atmosphere
    Beautiful building in the former Jewish quarter of Toledo. Entry ticket included in the « Tourist bracelet », including 7 attractions and sold for EUR 10. Single entry tickets to synagogue can of course be bought individually. Built in the Mudéjar style, then converted into a church. Marvelous pillars standing out against the white walls. Very peaceful atmosphere.

    Educational and Beautiful!
    Visited here as part of our city tour in the Jewish Quarter. We had a local professional guide to really educate us about the significance and historical aspect of this building, which I would definitely recommend here. I enjoyed the dramatic architecteral details inside, but the focus was on the story here.
