More information

Located in the historic center of Córdoba, the Jewish Quarter is one of the city’s most atmospheric areas. Its narrow streets, whitewashed houses and hidden patios reflect centuries of coexistence and cultural exchange.

Background and history

The Jewish Quarter, known locally as the Judería, flourished during the medieval period when Córdoba was a major intellectual and cultural center. It was home to scholars such as Maimonides and developed alongside Muslim and Christian communities. After the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, the area changed over time but retained its original street layout.

Why visit

Visitors come to wander its maze-like streets and discover small squares, artisan shops and historic sites. Highlights include the Córdoba Synagogue, one of the few remaining medieval synagogues in Spain, and the statue of Maimonides. The quarter offers a quieter, more intimate experience compared to the nearby Mosque-Cathedral.
