During my recent visit to Toledo, I had the opportunity to visit a temple that was built in 1180, according to Wikipedia. This temple, which was once a synagogue, is now a church. Although masses are not held there, it is always open to the public. You only have to pay a €4 entrance fee.

Santa María La Blanca is a temple of Arabic architecture with several octagonal columns ending in arches. It has five naves, the central one being the highest and most striking to photographers.

It is a place that is very popular for tourists, due to its importance to the people of Toledo, as it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. From what I have read, this building was abandoned and almost fell into ruin, but in the 19th century it was declared a national monument and restoration work began. Honestly, it would have been a shame if such a historic monument had been forgotten.

Es un lugar muy visitado por turistas, por la importancia que representa para el pueblo de Toledo ya que es una de sus construcciones más antiguas. Por lo que leí, este edificio estuvo en el abandono casi llegando a convertirse en ruinas pero en el sigo XIX fue declarado monumento nacional y así empezó su restauración. Honestamente hubiera sido una pena que semejante monumento con tanta historia hubiera quedado en el olvido.

Hola amigos. Si, leí sobre las tres religiones y lo más curioso es que este templo fue hecho por musulmanes para los judíos y ahora es una iglesia católica. Bueno eran tiempos donde las religiones podían convivir sin odios ni diferencias.

Gracias por el apoyo! ❤️
