Discover the history of the Girona Jewish quarter

Guided tours and itineraries

The Museum of the History of the Jews has scheduled several visits that will allow visitors to discover the rich heritage of medieval Jewish Girona.

The Jewish quarter: During the tour you'll learn about some main characters of the Medieval Jewish community and the evolution of this neighborhood until the expulsion of 1492.
