Description
The synagogue is a modest building, built in stone with a slate roof. Outside, its decor highlights its "Israelite" character: Hebrew inscription, Tables of the law integrated into the gable, and David's stars -shaped patterns in the rosette and the windows of the nave, among others. This unique identity is also represented by a decorative style inspired by Hispano-Moorish art, in particular arcs in 'overhang'. Inside, the synagogue consists of three spaces, starting with a vestibule at the entrance, followed by the nave which leads to a kind of "choir". The main decor consists of quotes in Hebrew, arranged so as to respect a symbolic progression.
