In Ávila, as in other Castilian cities, Jews, Muslims and Christians coexisted, each community leaving a mark that is part of our cultural heritage. Although written documentation proliferates, influencing the presence of a large and influential Jewish community throughout the Middle Ages of Avila, there are few architectural-archaeological testimonies that can be ascribed to this population. Recently this legacy has been enriched with the archaeological finding of the Jewish cemetery.

Ávila has a rich and deep well-documented history. Through these documents we can learn the location of its lost Jewish history and the location of the Jewish community in Alvia. One such place is the Old Don Samuel Synagogue, highlighted by a red brick arch surrounding a wooden door on Pocillio Street.
