After the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, the synagogue was converted into a Christian church. Over the centuries, it has had different uses and functions, but its structure and much of its interior decoration have been preserved.

Great way to spend the day - I was concerned at first when I boarded the vehicle and the tour guide started using a translator to convert the language from Spanish to English. But this turned out to not be an issue at all! Alex was an excellent guide and made every attempt to communicate with the group and make us comfortable. The tour itself is very organized and was impressed with how Alex navigated the group and provided so much historical background and information. This was probably the best tour I took during my 2 weeks stay in Spain, and highly recommend exploring Toledo and Segovia with Alex.
