Religious centre of the medieval Jewish quarter. 

The present-day church of Corpus Christi was once the Great Synagogue of Segovia. The exact date of construction is unknown, but the latest studies suggest that it was built around the 14th century. 

This is the best-preserved of the five synagogues in the Segovian Jewish quarter, which is thought to have been converted to Christianity in 1410. 

Inside we can see the interaction between the primitive Jewish building and the characteristic decoration of its later Christian use. 

It has a prayer hall divided into three naves, separated by horseshoe arches and pillars topped with capitals of pine cones and volutes. Over the side naves there is a continuous gallery made up of horseshoe arches alternating with lobed arches. 

It currently belongs to a convent of Poor Clare nuns, who are responsible for the building.
