Ermita de San Antonio, located in the Barrio de San Antonio, the heart of the Old Jewish Quarter (Judería Vieja) of Cáceres.
The arches with white lime walls: these are characteristic of the popular houses of the Jewish quarter.
The building with the bell gable (espadaña): this is the Hermitage of San Antonio, a small Christian chapel that was originally a synagogue before the expulsion of the Jews in 1492.
The colorful birds on the walls: a modern artistic intervention symbolizing freedom, coexistence, and cultural memory, often part of activities to celebrate the Sephardic heritage of Cáceres.
The synagogue of San Antonio was one of several in Cáceres. After the expulsion, it was consecrated as a Christian hermitage dedicated to Saint Anthony. The Jewish Quarter of Cáceres was concentrated here, in narrow winding streets, with modest houses and access to water cisterns (aljibes). Today, the area is part of the Caminos de Sefarad network, which highlights Jewish heritage across Spain.

They are contemporary additions, most likely decorative, perhaps as a reference to freedom or coexistence (very much in line with the rehabilitation of the Jewish quarter as a cultural space).

The Barrio de San Antonio was one of the main centers of the Jewish quarter of Cáceres, next to the hermitage that had once been a synagogue.
After the expulsion of 1492, converted Jews continued to live in this area.
