Mikveh, Sinagoga del Agua, Ubeda, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain
Mikveh, or Jewish ritual purification bath, fed by 7 connecting wells, with a menorah, in the Sinagoga del Agua, or Water Synagogue, Ubeda, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. This recently discovered building is thought to be an 11th - 14th century synagogue and also contains a yard, cellar, balcony, and living room. The mikveh is thought to have been used by women who had just given birth or were recently married, and is housed in a neolithic cave dating to 5000 BC. Picture by Manuel Cohen
