Córdoba's synagogue has had more lives than most buildings deserve. Built in 1315 by Yishaq Moheb, it served its community for nearly two centuries before the Catholic Monarchs expelled Spain's Jews in 1492. It then became a hospital for rabies patients. Then, a Christian chapel, its Hebrew origins so thoroughly forgotten that a 1876 renovation, when workers dismantled an altarpiece, was what finally rediscovered the inscriptions beneath.

The interior is small, as neighbourhood synagogues tend to be. But the plaster decoration is extraordinary: stucco and latticework almost identical to the Alhambra's palace interiors, with one telling difference. The Alhambra's inscriptions are in Arabic, drawn from the Quran; here they're in Hebrew, from the Book of Psalms.

VoiceMap's audio tours weave the synagogue into Córdoba's layered story of Christian, Muslim and Jewish coexistence. They trace how persecution, expulsion and accidental rediscovery shaped one of the few medieval synagogues surviving in Spain.
