Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca, Toledo, Spain

TOLEDO, SPAIN - APRIL 11 : A low angle view of an aisle in the Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca, on April 11, 2006 in Toledo, Spain. The Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca, built in the Mujedar style, was founded in 1203. The interior is Mosque like, and the building was hardly changed when converted into a Catholic Church in the 15th century. The five aisles are divided by rows of horseshoe arches with elaborate plaster mouldings and carved capitals with vegetal decoration.
