Were it not for the fact that the Sinagoga de Córdoba was one of only three remaining synagogues in all of Spain, and that it was actually uncovered by accident, we would probably not have paid much attention. All-in-all, it was not particularly memorable or striking. However, we were impressed that in 1884 a priest had discovered the plasterwork on the building's walls was actually covering up the Synagogue of Cordoba built in 1305. These interesting facts prompted us to visit, and we found it to be a worthwhile stop.

One of only 3 synagogues remaining in Spain after the purge of the Jewish community in the 15th century. This synagogue is located in the Juderia, the former Jewish section of Cordoba, and is a UNESCO Heritage site. It is small but beautiful. The incised plaster and Hebrew lettering that frame the windows and doors is a testimony to craftsmanship and artistry. No admission fee.

Another amazing Jewish site in Cordoba. This whole area is full of things to see - take your time and explore all the small streets. This synagogue is small but makes a powerful statement. It right around the corner from Casa de Sefarad - which is also not to be missed. What is really clear from walking around this area is that the Jewish presence in Cordoba was substantial and important prior to the expulsion.
