The Judería is the old Jewish quarter of Córdoba, a tangle of narrow whitewashed lanes just north-west of the Mezquita.
What to see
The medieval synagogue, a small 14th-century building decorated in Mudéjar style, is one of the few that survive in Spain. The Calleja de las Flores is a short alley of flowerpots leading to a small plaza with a view of the Mezquita bell tower. A statue of the philosopher Maimonides, who was born in Córdoba, stands in the quarter.
How to enjoy it
The best way to see the Judería is simply to wander without a fixed plan. It is busiest in the middle of the day, so early morning or evening gives you the lanes almost to yourself. Handicraft shops and small courtyards are hidden among the streets.
Practical tip
The synagogue’s opening hours and entry conditions can change, so check before you go.
