Summary/Abstract: The Roman monument known as "La Sinagoga" of Sádaba is one of the best-preserved late Roman examples in Aragón, although it has been scarcely studied since the pioneering works of García y Bellido over half a century ago. Between 2012 and 2013, a campaign was conducted to virtualize and document the building. In this article, based on a comprehensive comparative analysis with similar structures on the Iberian Peninsula and new data obtained, we present an architectural and historical reinterpretation of the monument that substantially differs from previous proposals. This article includes updated plans and establishes parallels that allow for a comprehensive understanding of its significance and functionality.
