Centro Didáctico de la Judería de Segovia

About

Centro Didáctico de la Judería de Segovia offers a thoughtful introduction to the history, culture, and daily life of the city’s medieval Jewish community. Located in the heart of the old Jewish Quarter, the center occupies a restored historic building that preserves the atmosphere of the neighbourhood’s narrow streets and intimate courtyards. Inside, visitors encounter interactive displays, maps, and audiovisual materials that explain the community’s role in Segovia’s development, its traditions, and the coexistence that once defined the area. Personal stories, archaeological findings, and reconstructions help bring to life the rhythms of Jewish life before the expulsion of 1492. More than an educational space, the center serves as a gateway to exploring the surrounding Judería, encouraging visitors to understand its heritage with greater depth and sensitivity.

Location

The Centro Didáctico de la Judería de Segovia is located in the heart of Segovia’s historic Jewish Quarter, housed in the former 15th‑century home of Abraham Seneor at Calle del Cinturón, near the old city walls and the Puerta del Sol. It sits just off the main tourist route, within easy walking distance of the Roman Aqueduct, the Gothic Cathedral, and Plaza Mayor, and is surrounded by the narrow, winding streets of the old Jewish quarter. Nearby points of interest include the Church of Corpus Christi (the former main synagogue), the Church of San Andrés, the Cuesta de los Hoyos (site of the old Jewish cemetery), and the Torreón de Lozoya, with traditional restaurants, cafés, and shops also close by.
