The Valencia de Alcántara Synagogue is a disused synagogue in Valencia de Alcántara, province of Cáceres, Spain.While no documentary evidence attests to the building being a synagogue, it was identified as such by academics Carmen Balesteros and Jorge Oliveira. Evidence included it dating from the late 15th century when Jews settled near the Portuguese border due to increased persecution in Castile, and its architectural similarity to the Synagogue of Tomar in Portugal. After the expulsion of Jews in 1492, it was used for various purposes, mainly as a slaughterhouse for swine.
