Shaar Hashamayim Synagogue
"The Great Synagogue of Gibraltar, also known as Kahal Kadosh Sha'ar HaShamayim is located in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, and was the first synagogue in the Iberian Peninsula to operate since the expulsions from Spain and Portugal in 1492 and 1497, respectively.
The Sha'ar HaShamayim Synagogue was founded in 1724 by Isaac Nieto of London. It opened in 1724 on land given to the Jews by the then governor of Gibraltar, Richard Kane. Having been rebuilt several times, the current building largely dates from 1812 and shares features in common with the parent Portuguese Synagogue of Amsterdam (1675) and Synagogue of Bevis Marks (1701). The facade of the two-and-a-half-story, national-scale building features round-arch windows flanking a round-arched entrance."
