Posada Real IN BURGOS
Much more than a place to stay
A former 12th-century Jewish synagogue with its own wine cellar, protected as heritage by the Regional Government of Castilla y León. It is in Peñaranda de Duero, less than 2 hours from Madrid. The building has been restored with care for its historic character, adding modern technology for 21st-century comfort, including heating and cooling with solar panels and heat pump energy that make it more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
A place full of history
Originally built as a Jewish synagogue in the 12th century, the building has gone through many changes over the centuries, including its conversion to Christian use and later its adaptation as an inn. This rich past shows in its architecture, with details recalling its medieval origins and modern touches for our guests’ comfort.
During the restoration we made sure to preserve the synagogue’s structure and most important features, such as its thick stone walls and vaulted ceilings, which today create a unique, welcoming atmosphere. Every guest at La Sinagoga Posada Real feels a sense of calm, as if time stood still as you walk through our doors.

The 12th-century underground cellar
One of the greatest treasures of La Sinagoga Posada Real in Burgos is its underground cellar, a true historic gem dating from the 12th century, originally built to serve as a mikveh (Jewish ritual bath). It has been restored so guests can learn first-hand how wine is made, with guided visits and exclusive tastings. It’s perfect for small groups who want an authentic experience in the heart of the Ribera del Duero.
A unique setting in Peñaranda de Duero
