Antigua Sinagoga Mayor de Segovia, España

[ENG] The old Major Synagogue of Segovia (Spain), today Church of Corpus Christi, is the only synagogue that has been preserved of the five that existed in the city. It is mentioned in a document from 1372, and in 1410 it became a Catholic church after the events of Corpus Christi. In 1899 a fire destroyed the building, and a few years later it was restored with little rigor, eliminating the sacristy and the choir, and moving the domed chancel from the 16th century to the southern canvas. The building is modest in size, with a rectangular floor plan facing south, and the southern wall is integrated directly into the city wall. It is structured around three naves, the central one being taller and wider, the naves are separated by five horseshoe arches supported by octagonal pillars and capitals with pineapples and plant shapes practically identical to those of the Toledo synagogue of Santa María la Mayor. The side aisles are covered with a simple wooden frame, the central one with a two-sided gabled knuckle structure, and the head with another four-sided one.

[ESP] La antigua Sinagoga Mayor de Segovia (España), hoy Iglesia del Corpus Christi, es la única sinagoga que se ha conservado de las cinco que existieron en la ciudad. Se menciona en un documento de 1372, y en 1410 pasó ser iglesia católica tras los sucesos del Corpus Christi. En 1899 un incendio arrasó el edificio, y a los pocos años se restauró con escaso rigor, eliminando la sacristía y el coro, y trasladando el presbiterio cupulado del siglo XVI al lienzo meridional. El edificio es de dimensiones modestas, de planta rectangular orientada al sur, y el muro meridional se integra directamente en la muralla de la ciudad. Se estructura en torno a tres naves, la central de mayor altura y anchura, las naves se separan mediante cinco arcos de herradura apoyados en pilares octogonales y capiteles con piñas y formas vegetales prácticamente idénticos a los de la sinagoga toledana de Santa María la Mayor. Las naves laterales se cubren con una sencilla armadura de madera, la central con una estructura de par y nudillo a dos aguas, y la cabecera con otra a cuatro aguas.
