Casa de Sefarad
A small museum opposite the synagogue, telling the story of Iberian Sephardic Jews through their daily life, music and history of diaspora.
Casa de Sefarad occupies a 14th-century house in the Jewish Quarter, facing the synagogue across the street. Its galleries around a courtyard present Sephardic festival customs, costumes, music, women poets, and the history of the diaspora after the expulsion of 1492. Introductions to Córdoba figures such as Maimonides are included. Admission is about €5, and the museum regularly hosts Sephardic concerts and lectures. The exhibition is small but carefully curated, and well worth a visit for anyone interested in Jewish culture.
