Sinagoga + Micvé
A sinagoga é o centro da comunidade xudía, espazo para a oración, para o estudo da tora e para que se reúna a comunidade. Anexo ao edificio relixioso atopábase a «mikvé», o baño para a purificación nos rituais relixiosos. A antiga sinagoga deixará de usarse en 1492 e é transformada en vivenda a partir do século XVI. A derruba parcial da muralla para a construción da residencia dos Sarmiento-Celaya en 1861 permitiu conservar o patio da sinagoga medieval, único existente en Galicia.

The Synagogue and Micve
The Synagogue is the centre of judaic life, a place for prayer, and for the study of the "Torá", as well as a place where the community can meet. The "micvé", a tank, used for purification in religious rituals, is in an annex of the religious building. In 1492 the ancient synagogue ceased to function, and following this was converted into a dwelling from the sixteenth century. The partial demolition of the city-wall for the construction of a home for the Sarmiento-Celaya family in 1861, made it possible to preserve the synagogue's medieval patio which is the only one remaining in Galicia.
