Archaeologists uncover 14th-century synagogue in Spain

STORY: Archaeologists uncover 14th-century synagogue in Spain DATELINE: Feb. 22, 2023 LENGTH: 0:01:20 LOCATION: Madrid CATEGORY: SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the medieval synagogue STORYLINE: Archaeologists in the southern Spanish town of Utrera on Tuesday said they had uncovered a 14th-century synagogue, which is one of the only five medieval synagogues that survived the destruction after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. In the past seven centuries, the synagogue was converted into a church, a hospital, an orphanage, and most recently a bar. Despite objections about a lack of archaeological evidence, the Utrera city council bought the building for 460,000 euros in 2016. Researchers began an investigation of the structure in November 2021. They identified the synagogue's prayer hall and the Torah Ark area where the scriptures were kept. The city council now aims to open the site to visitors while the researchers continue to search for the synagogue's pulpit and ritual bath. Xinhua News
