Dubrovnik Jewish Synagogue and Former Ghetto, Croatia
Dubrovnik has a Synagogue and Jewish Museum on Zudioska Street. (It's easy to find the little side street -- just look for stands selling Jewish magnets outside!)
This tiny Sephardic synagogue was built in 1342 and is the second oldest in Europe after Prague. Most of the Jews arrived in the 1500's after the expulsion from Portugal and Spain. Perhaps 45 Jews now live in Dubrovnik and 2,000 in all of Croatia.
The surrounding houses were was part of the Jewish Ghetto where Jews would be locked in like cattle in the evening.

The 16th Century Jewish Synagogue and Ghetto, Split Croatia
The amount of Jewish history in the Balkans fascinated us. The Jewish community of Croatia dates back to at least the 3rd century A.D. Jews came to Split in the 7th century, welcomed by Emperor Diocletian. (He was probably too busy feeding Christians to the lions to notice.)
The Split Synagogue was built during the early 16th century by combining the second floors of two houses in the one-time Jewish Ghetto.
The woman who led us around is not Jewish but considers herself a professional Jew. We sped through the Synagogue tour because she had places to go, people to see. Nonetheless, thanks for taking her time.

Inside Split Synagogue, Split, Dalmatia, Croatia
Split Synagogue was built in roughly 1500. Located on Zidovski Prolaz, or the Jewish Passage, it is the second oldest continuously operational Sephardic Synagogue in the world.
It was built into the western wall of Diocletian's palace by Jews escaping the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. In 1573, a Jewish Cemetery was approved and built on Marjan Hill, which overlooks the town of Split. Jews arrived in Dalmatia, during the early centuries of the Christian era, with the conquering Roman armies. Romans established the city of Salona just behind Split, in the 1st Century, where Jewish traders and craftsmen settled. Archaeological excavations have discovered artifacts of Jewish origin dating from this period and clues to the existence of a Synagogue dating back to the time of Diocletian who was Roman Emperor from 284 to 305.

The Real King's Landing - Dubrovnik, Croatia
Take a step back in time to what feels like a beautiful ancient castle on the ocean cliffs!
I explored all there is to do in Dubrovnik, the shops, sightseeing, activities, where to take cute photos, the famous cable car, cliff side bar, and other things to do!
I'm obsessed with the Game of Thrones (GoT) so I wanted to see the filming location and find out what the town is really like!
