Calle Judería Vieja (Old Jewish Quarter Street), Segovia

The Old Jewish Quarter Street holds a rich history as a former neighborhood inhabited by the Hebrew community from at least the 12th century until their expulsion following the Edict of Granada in 1492, decreed by the Catholic Monarchs. During its existence, the Jewish Quarter flourished as one of the most prosperous and populous Jewish communities in Castile.

Situated in the southern part of the walled city, the Jewish Quarter encompasses the area around Corpus Christi Square and the Canonry. Following the expulsion, the Jewish Quarter came to be known as New District. The importance of this Hebrew enclave is evident from the fact that it housed five synagogues, Rabbinic schools, and Hebrew butcher's shops.

The distinct medieval atmosphere of the old Jewish quarter allows visitors to catch glimpses of its Sephardic past. Street names like Old Jewish Quarter and New Jewish Quarter serve as reminders of its historical significance.

The main thoroughfare of this quarter is the old Main Street, which is now known as Old Jewish Quarter Street. Today, at number 12 Old Jewish Quarter Street, visitors will find the Educational Center of the Jewish Quarter, where exhibits and videos in English provide detailed insights into the history of Jews in Segovia and throughout Spain. This museum is open every day of the week, although it closes in the afternoon on Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday.
