The Jewish Quarter La Juderia, Cordoba, Spain
Córdoba's old Jewish quarter consists of a fascinating network of narrow lanes, more atmospheric and less commercialised than in Seville although souvenir shops have emerged.
LA PUERTA DE ALMODAVAR
La Puerta de Almodavar, is an entrance gate with a statue of Seneca, which together with the streets La Muralla and Averroes form the western boundary of the Juderia. The Juderia reaches as far as Calle El Rey Heredia to the north east and the Mosque to the south.
The Jews were established in Cordoba in roman and Visigothic times and formed a brilliant intellectual group when Hasfay Ibn Shaprut, Abdul al Rahmm III, Jewish councilor attracted intellectuals to the court. Maimonides was born in 1135 and a statue to his honour stands in Tiberiadus Square.
The Juderia is now known for the jewelers and silversmiths shops.
SYNAGOGUE
At the centre of the quarter is the Synagogue in Calle de los Judios. one of only three originals remaining in Spain. A Mudéjar construction dating from 1315. It was converted to a church in the 16th century and then held the Guild of Shoemakers until it was rediscovered in the 19th Century. The interior includes a gallery for women and plaster work with inscriptions from Hebrew psalms and others with plant motifs on the upper part.
Its main beautifully restored wall, has a semi-circular arch where a chest with the Holy Scrolls of Law used to be kept.
CASA SEFARAD
This Sephardic house in the Juderia has been restored to how it would have been in the 14th century, before the Spanish Jews (known as Sephardi) were expelled from Spain by the Catholic Kings.
It has five themed rooms: you can see objects connected with important stages and events in life - birth, circumcision and marriage, as well as metal and clothing embroidered with gold thread and household items; you can learn about Sephardic language and culture, and see musical instruments; there's also has a display on important Cordoban Jews from history.
Students of the subject can visit the library, sound archive and document centre. The shop sells Sephardic music and ceramics, and occasionally events are held here: concerts, seminars, conferences and musical workshops.

Sprinkled across the Spanish Peninsula, you'll come across Jewish Quarters known as juderías. In Córdoba, which was once considered the most populous city in the world, the Jewish community especially thrived, and now its ancient neighborhood of white buildings is considered one of the most famous juderías in Spain.
The Jewish community indeed played an important role culturally in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. During the Moorish Caliphate -- the period of Islamic rule over Spain which ended in 1031 -- the Jewish community flourished as Córdoba rose as a center for commerce, prosperity, education and religious tolerance.
Of course, in 1492 during the Spanish Inquisition, people of Jewish faith and the religion itself were expelled from Spain, their neighborhoods becoming only artifacts of their presence in the country's history. Among Córboba's Jewish Quarter's most famous sites is undoubtedly the synagogue, one of just three of its kind in Spain that survived the Inquisition (the other two are located in the city of Toledo), and the only one in all of Andalucia.
Also located in the barrio's small streets is Casa Sefarad, a cultural project dedicated to telling the story of Judeo-Spanish history in Spain. Within its walls, you can visit five different rooms, featuring Sephardic music, handicrafts and other cultural artifacts.
While wandering the small streets, keep an eye out for the statue of Maimónides, the famous Jewish doctor and philosopher, and peruse the jewelry and silversmith shops, for which the neighborhood is renowned.

Visiting Jewish Córdoba | The Story of The Jews with Simon Schama | PBS
Watch the full series at (US Only)
In this clip from The Story of the Jews, Simon Schama journeys to Córdoba, once the capital of the Islamic Umayyad dynasty, and under their protection, one of the great centers of Sephardic Jewish life in Muslim Spain.
This is place the Arabs called el Andalus, and we now know as Andalusia. The region is located in the deep south of Spain, the country the Jews called Sepharad, and at its heart is the city of Córdoba.
Córdoba was a city of gardens; fountains, canals, and post delivered by carrier pigeon. The Mesquita, the great mosque built by the Umayyads, stands as the architectural consummation of their ambition.
But in the shadow of the mosques were the synagogues, and they too wove worldliness with holiness to create patterns of intoxicating beauty, an impulse that endured for centuries. Inspired by Arabic models, that same note was sounded in the poetry of the Sephardim, a literature that gave the Hebrew language a startling new life outside of the synagogue.

Jewish quarter in Spain, Sephardi legacy [IGEO.TV]
Centuries of history are presented in Spain which remind Jewish presence, just walking and enjoying across their streets, buildings, arcs, squares, which are the perfect testimony of cohabitation between Jewish, Mudejars and Christians.
The Jewish quarter creation around Spanish cities was been setting along Middle Age. Generally, after new distributions through urban spaces, reconquests and repopulations, downtown spaces were allocated to Christians, setting aside Mudejars (conversed Muslims) to outskirts (named as Moorish quarter), while Jewish kept their social level, and used to cohabite with invaders.
As soon as Christian occupation was definitive, antijewish measures became stronger, which put Jewish into the background, making isolates neighborhoods called Jewish quarters.
Probably, in Spain there were quite important Jewish quarters, at least 300. Recently, Jewish Spanish Association has been created, 26 cities which still conserve their special urban structure.
We´ll visit four of them, selected by chance:
-CÓRDOBA: One of the most visited places in the city, it's a white quarter decorated with flowers.
-TOLEDO: Main sanctuary for people looking for Jewish memories.
-CÁCERES: old Jewish quarter with popular houses, whitewash walls and big bricked chimneys, adapted to the land´s gradient, therefore, quite steep slopes, it is called Quebrada Quarter.
-HERVÁS: a respected urban design, narrow streets extremely tight, balconies with big cantilevers, native materials. Almost award-winning as best place 2013, by Repsol guide.

Córdoba, Spain - Casa de Sefarad (Jewish Museum) & de Almodóvar
Known as Murallas y Puertas de Almodovar (the Puerta de Almodóvar) it is the gate leading to the old Jewish quarter of Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain. The old wall features statues of some well known locals: Averroes, a Moorish philosopher & Seneca, Roman statesman. The impressive gate & wall are adjacent to a more modern area of Cordoba, but it does not distract from the beauty and antiquity.
While in the Jewish quarter we visted Casa de Sefarad, a small and very interesting museum devoted to the history of the Jewish community (Judería de Córdoba) that was once very prominent in Cordoba at one time.

Segovia, Cathedral and Jewish Quarter - Spain 4K Travel Channel
We visit the Segovia Cathedral early in the morning, where only a few tourists are en route. Between April and October, it opens at 9:00 a.m.
The massive stone building towers like a rock above the city of Segovia. It was built by order of Karl V in 1525 and designed by the architect Juan Gil de Hontanón. The Gothic cloister and the choir stalls were taken over from the old cathedral, which stood adjacent to the Alcazar.
In 1614, the original 100 m high tower was hit by a lightning strike. The top, which was built from mahogany wood was destroyed. At the restoration, it was rebuilt in stone and the height was reduced by 12 m, so that today, the tower has a height of 88 meters. It can be climbed on foot.
The nave is 105 m long, 50 m wide and 33 m high.

Wir besuchen die Kathedrale von Segovia früh am Morgen, als noch wenige Touristen unterwegs sind. Von April bis Oktober ist sie ab 9:00 Uhr geöffnet.
Der mächtige Steinbau überragt Segovia wie ein Felshügel. Er wurde von Karl V im Jahre 1525 in Auftrag gegeben und nach Entwürfen des Architekten Juan Gil de Hontanón gebaut. Der gotische Kreuzgang und das Chorgestühl wurden von der alten Kathedrale, die sich neben dem Alcazar befand, übernommen.
Im Jahre 1614 wurde der ursprünglich 100 m hohe Turm von einem Blitzeinschlag getroffen und die aus Mahagoniholz gefertigte Spitze zerstört. Bei der Restaurierung wurde sie in Stein gebaut und die Höhe um 12 m reduziert, sodass der Turm heute 88 m hoch ist. Er kann zu Fuß erklommen werden.

Córdoba Synagogue is a historic edifice in the Jewish Quarter of Córdoba, Spain built in 1315. The synagogue was built in Mudéjar style by architects led by Isaac Moheb. It consists of a courtyard, accessed from the street, which leads to a hallway, followed by the prayer room. On the eastern side of the hall is a staircase that leads to the women's gallery. The gallery overlooks the prayer room through three decorative arches. The prayer room measures 6.95 x 6.37 m. After the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, the building was devoted to various functions including a Hydrophobic hospital, a chapel for shoemakers and nursery school.

Spanish Jews once constituted one of the largest and most prosperous Jewish communities in the world. This period ended definitively with the anti-Jewish riots of 1392 and Alhambra decree of 1492, as a result of which the majority of Jews in Spain (between 200,000 and 250,000) converted to Catholicism and those remaining (between 40,000 and 100,000) were forced into exile.
