En Huesa del Comun hay solo esta estrella de David. Es previa a 1492.
Te envםo dos fotos. La primera muestra el estado actual. La segunda el estado original cuando se descubriף la puerta.
No sי cuando se descubriף la puerta pero lo preguntarי.
La gente cree que esta es la puerta de la sinagoga, pero no es seguro, en mi opinion.

I send you two photos: The first show the actual condition of the door. The second is the original condition when the door was discovered. I don't know when the door was discovered but I will ask. The people think this is the door of a synagogue, but it's not sure, in my opinion.


In 1492 King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel expelled the Jewish population of Spain, permitting only those who agreed to become Catholic to stay.

I cut most of it in Photoshop in order to make the star visible. The photo was taken at Colmar in Alsace, France. Colmar had a Jewish community in medieval times and again after 1800 and has one today.
