The altarpiece in Corpus Christi (Old Main Synagogue), Segovia, Spain, 2007. Corpus Christi was the Old Main Synagogue of Segovia until 1419, when it was confiscated by the Crown after a supposed desecration of the Eucharist. As a result, the synagogue was transformed into the church of Santa Maria de Parreces and, in 1572, a convent.
