Weitere Informationen:
The Synagogue of Cordoba is located in the heart of Cordoba's picturesque Juderia (Jewish quarter), just two blocks west of the Mezquita. It no longer functions as a place of worship, but it is an important historical monument and a treasured symbol for Spain's modern Jewish communities. Cordoba's synagogue was built in 1350. It is the only synagogue in Andalusia to survive the expulsion and inquisition of the Jews in 1492 and one of only three ancient synagogues left in all of Spain. After the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, the synagogue of Cordoba was turned into a hospital. It became a Catholic chapel in 1588. Today it is a museum.
