A medieval Spanish synagogue was just uncovered

The World

In Spain, only a tiny handful of medieval synagogues still survive. Now, one more 14-century synagogue is being added to that history. In the southern town of Utrera, archaeologists say a synagogue dating to the 1300s was hidden within a building that was later converted into a church, then a hospital and, most recently, a bar. Host Marco Werman has the details.
