 Visit the middle-aged jewish quarter in Barcelona with the oldest synagogue from Spain and Europe. The facade of the synagogue is oriented towards Jerusalem, constructed especially in this direction and therefore breaking with the direct line of the street. In compliance with the indications given in the Tosefta, it contains many large windows, three of which face this direction while others permit the entrance of light from the sacred City.
