The photo of Iglesia de Sta Maria la Blanca is not of the Santa Maria la Blanca's synagogue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.128.20.23 (talk) 11:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed!. I remove it.--Garcilaso (talk) 11:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Why hasn't this synagogue been returned to the Jewish community? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.200.35 (talk) 02:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong infobox

Why is "infobox religious building" used and not "infobox museum"? It's now a museum, not a Synagogue איתן קרסנטי (talk) 15:00, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The choice of infobox may not be vital either way, but the building was designed and, for most of its history, used as a religious building, and accordingly its interest to readers today is as a former synagogue (it's officially a museum, but the only thing to see is the building itself). So the current infobox is appropriate for practical purposes, as it contains most of the information parameters we need and fits with the main topic. The museum infobox has a different and more limited set of parameters, which I don't think would benefit us here. R Prazeres (talk) 17:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest synagogue claim

The specific claim here, "disputably considered the oldest synagogue building in Europe still standing", appears to be correct read exactly as phrased. It is disputed, since the dates given vary from 1180 to 1230, and it is the building used as a synagogue at that time, though it has not been used a such for since 1492. The claim here is not "oldest synagogue in use", merely "oldest synagogue still standing". So I've supplied a decent reference and removed the "citation needed" tag. I think the options here are either to accept the statement as written with a reference supplied or to remove the statement altogether. If removed, it should be replaced by text that would clearly explain the nature of the building as we find it today.Poihths (talk) 17:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reference you added ([1]) doesn't state this claim, so unfortunately it's still not supported; per WP:OR, it's not Wikipedia's place to draw conclusions not stated clearly in reliable sources. Given the uncertainty of the date and just how tricky the wording would be in order to be plausible, I recommend removing it. We can simply keep the first clause of the sentence, "Erected in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century", with the necessary grammatical adjustment. That's the main piece of information anyways. If we find a reliable source later which says something to the effect of "oldest" something, we can re-add accordingly then.
