First Jewish Synagogue in Europe

Toledo

Toledo, after the fall of the Moro period and there were no architects or master builders that were Christian or Jewish in the area. So the Jews asked the Moros to build a temple for them. Bottom line, Moro looking architecture for a Jewish temple that was later converted into a Catholic church. The building was used in the 19th century by the army of Napoleon as the stable for their horses. They partially destroyed the building with a fire!
