Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the meeting point to begin our tour of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba. To learn about the Jewish population in Cordoba, we will go back to Roman times as the walled perimeter of the city was built during the Augustan era, where the Jewish quarter is situated today. The Jewish Quarter was organised and urbanised.

With the arrival of the Muslims, the Jewish population began to have more power, as major buildings were located in their area. This area was occupied by Jews until their definitive expulsion during the Catholic Monarchs' reign.

During our tour, we will explore the Plaza de Maimonides, learning about its historical names, including Plaza de los Armentas and Plaza del Arcediano. The Bullfighting Museum is also located here.

We will walk through winding, narrow streets, some of which are dead ends, indicative of medieval city development. We'll visit significant sites such as the synagogue, the municipal souk, and the market.

After an hour of exploring the Jewish Quarter, we'll return to the starting point.
