ES: "Única en Andalucía y tercera de las mejor conservadas de época medieval de toda España, la Sinagoga de Córdoba está situada en el barrio de la Judería. Construida entre los años 1314 y 1315 según las inscripciones halladas en el edificio, sirvió de templo hasta la definitiva expulsión judía. A través del patio se accede a un pequeño vestíbulo. A la derecha de éste suben las escaleras que dan acceso a la zona femenina. Al frente se abre la estancia principal. De planta cuadrangular, se encuentra decorada con atauriques mudéjares. El muro que soporta la tribuna de las mujeres se abre con tres arcos ornamentados con yeserías de gran belleza. En 1492 los judíos son expulsados, utilizándose el templo como hospital, siendo después ermita de San Crispín y, por último, escuela infantil. A finales del siglo XIX es declarada Monumento Nacional."

The Synagogue, situated in the heart of the Jewish Quarter of Cordoba, is unique in Andalusia and one of the three best preserved Medieval synagogues in the whole of Spain. According to the inscriptions found in the building, it was built between the years 1314 and 1315, and was in constant use right up until the Jews were finally expelled from Spain. A small courtyard leads to a narrow entrance hall. On the right, a staircase leads to the women’s area and in front lies the main hall, which is rectangular in shape and decorated with Mudejar-style plant motifs. The wall supporting the women’s tribune has three arches with exquisite decorative plasterwork. The Jews were expelled in 1492, and afterwards, the building was used first as a hospital, then as the Hermitage of San Crispin and finally, an infants’ school. It was declared a National Monument at the end of the 19th century.
