Casa de Sefarad

About

Casa de Sefarad in Córdoba is a small but deeply evocative museum dedicated to the city’s Sephardic Jewish heritage. Located in the heart of the old Jewish Quarter, it occupies a restored 14th‑century house that feels intimate and atmospheric, inviting visitors to step into a world shaped by memory, music, poetry, and tradition. Inside, each room explores a different facet of Sephardic culture, from daily life and craftsmanship to the legacy of Jewish women, medieval philosophy, and the haunting history of the Inquisition. The museum places special emphasis on convivencia, the centuries of coexistence among Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities that shaped Córdoba’s identity. Casa de Sefarad is not only a historical space but also a cultural centre, hosting concerts, talks, and exhibitions that keep Sephardic heritage alive. Its quiet courtyards, thoughtful displays, and personal storytelling make it one of the city’s most meaningful stops for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Córdoba’s multicultural past.

Location

Casa de Sefarad is located in the heart of Córdoba’s historic Jewish Quarter, on Calle Judíos at the corner with Calle Averroes, a short walk north of the Mosque–Cathedral. It stands just a few metres from Córdoba Synagogue, with Casa Andalusí, the Al-Iksir Museo de la Alquimia, Puerta de Almodóvar, the Statue of Maimonides and the narrow medieval streets of La Judería all clustered around it, making it easy to combine with other key monuments in the old town.
