Menorah, Palacio de los Olvidados, Granada, Andalusia, Spain
A wooden menorah, a 7-branched Jewish candlestick, which can be converted into a Christian cross by removing the upper section, from the collection of the Crespo Lopez family exhibited in the 16th century Palacio de los Olvidados or Palace of the Forgotten, in El Albayzin, the medieval Moorish old town of Granada, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The Palace is one of the few remaining old aristocratic houses in good condition, thought to belong to a Jew and now housing artefacts of Jewish culture and history. Granada was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Picture by Manuel Cohen
