Best Cordoba Jewish Quarter Tours from Malaga

One of the largest Jewish quarters in Europe is this historical area in Cordoba with its centerpiece being the Cordoba Synagogue that was built in 1315. Jewish people had been in Cordoba since the 2nd Century and became very wealthy and successful throughout the years. The city lost a significant part of its Jewish population in 1492 when Spanish monarchs Ferdinand II and Isabella I then demanded that the Jewish residents convert to Catholicism or face expulsion from Spain. The neighborhood now is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. Show All
