Step by Step

A tour of the Jewish Quarter and a guided visit to the Museum of Jewish History of Girona will give you an insight into the culture, tradition and important events that this community in Spain has been involved in since the Middle Ages.

A professional guide will take you through the labyrinthine and timeless medieval streets of this area, a town trapped in time with beautiful stone structures, bridges and ancient synagogues that are ideal for a visit.

You will learn about the important legacy left by the Jews in "El Call", as the neighbourhood formed in the 12th century is popularly known, where you will have the opportunity to visit streets such as La Força, Sant Llorenç and the impressive Cathedral.

You'll take an unforgettable tour of Girona's Museum of Jewish History, located on the site where the first synagogue was founded centuries ago. This space tells the story of Jewish culture in Catalonia and Spain, transcendental episodes that you will be able to relive and project with your private guide.

Inside the museum you will see important works such as the Arch of Titus, a monument representing the onslaught of the Roman army in 70 AD, as well as permanent exhibitions and rooms that include "The Origins", a walk through the timeline from the beginnings of the Jewish community in the era of the Roman Empire.

Among its beautiful narrow streets you'll find a myriad of stunning photo spots in the city crossed by the Onyar River, an unforgettable visit to a site that is considered one of Girona's main historical and tourist gems.
