Oldest temples in Spain

The oldest entry was not built in Spain at all: the Temple of Debod is an Egyptian temple of the early 2nd century BC, given by Egypt and re-erected in Madrid in 1970 to 1972. The Roman temple of Vic, of the 2nd century AD, survived because it was walled into a medieval castle. The rest is medieval Toledo and Córdoba: the small mosque of Cristo de la Luz from 999, the synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca of about 1180, and the Córdoba synagogue, built in 1314 to 1315.
