Cordoba Jewish Quarter Tour

Discover the history of the Jewish community on this tour of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba.

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the meeting point to begin our tour of the Jewish quarter of Cordoba.

We will explore the history of the Jewish population from Roman times, when the walled perimeter of the city was established in the same area as the Jewish quarter. With the Muslim arrival, the Jewish population gained more power, as key buildings were in their vicinity. They inhabited this area until their expulsion during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs.

On this tour, we'll visit the Plaza de Maimonides and learn about its historical names, including Plaza de los Armentas and Plaza del Arcediano, currently home to the Bullfighting Museum. We will navigate through winding narrow streets, reflecting medieval urban development, and visit locations frequented by the followers of the Star of David, including the municipal souk and the market.

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