Jewish Quarter Tour + Museum of Jewish History

We'll meet at Plaça de Sant Feliu square to begin your guided tour through the Jewish neighborhood of Girona. This well-preserved district is full of ancient remains from its Roman and Medieval past. Known as the "Call", it housed about one thousand inhabitants during the Middle Ages, making it a significant Jewish community in Spain's history.

As you stroll through the Jewish Quarter, the birthplace of Nachmanides, you'll visit the locations of the city's three synagogues. The guided tour includes insights into the customs and traditions of the Jewish people who lived here, their tools, and house designs. You'll also explore the Museum of Jewish History to learn more about their lifestyles.

Your guide will lead you through the labyrinthine streets, explaining the history of the Expulsion of the Jews in 1492, which ended 600 years of coexistence. After three hours of exploring the "Call," your tour will conclude, providing you with an understanding of the profound influence of the Jewish community in Girona.
