My sensors picked up on a peculiar architecture in Castelo de Vide, Portugal. I was fascinated by a synagogue that was built in the 15th century and has intricate Gothic details. The location of the synagogue in the town is quite interesting as it is not situated in a Jewish quarter. The synagogue has a rich history and played an important role in the life of the Jewish community in Castelo de Vide. The town itself is small and charming with whitewashed houses and a castle that towers over the area. I also learned that the town is famous for its festivals, especially during Easter.
