Casa de Sefarad

Cheap access fare for a quick tour on the building, sadly upper floors are not available for access but the basement and all round tour is worth it at the price paid(was 4€ at the time-of writing this). Be warned it is more of a shop than an actual visit but if you have 20 minutes to kill it is not the worst tourist trap out there(that title belongs to the alchemy house accords the street)

Great museum that presents personal stories of Sefarad Jews and the historical context. We learnt about a lot of exceptional individuals from that small community, all presented in detail and with care in a beautiful old house. The little concert featuring traditional songs was a great surprise and we also loved the temporary exhibition about comics. Thank you!

Friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Lots to see, and generally good information available (although they could have had more information on objects and material culture). Takes between 1-2 hours to see everything. Upstairs is not wheelchair accessible. A great visit, and I learnt a lot!

Well, this museum is WOW! It's definitely MUST to visit when in Cordoba. Museum is in old Jewish house with internal patio, typical house of Juderia quarter. Ground floor is dedicated to forbidden books and showing what books were banned and burned during the far or close history in different countries as a forbidden or dangerous. Three more small rooms host exhibition of silver Jewish religious objects, Chanukiya candelabras, mostly from north Morocco, one room dedicated to Jewish music, other to paintings of important women in Jewish history. One other room with traditional Jewish clothes of Andalous and Morocco is right behind the cashier in the entrance. I got there exactly when there were short performance of traditional Jewish Andalousian songs, in Hebrew and Spanish - Ladino performed by guy who sell the tickets there. He got to visitors also explanation in 3 languages, Spanish, French and English without any accent in every and each one. Really talented! Upper floor is dedicated to Synagogue of Cordoba and its internal reconstruction, to Rambam- Moshe ben Maimon - Maimonides, and showing also old book and document from the 15th century Inquisition processes. Over all very informative, very interesting museum showing past Jewish life in Cordoba before expulsion of Jews from Spain by catholic monarchs in 1492.

Packs a lot of great history of the Sephardic community in a small beautiful space. Bonus - an amazing Sephardic singer, and a temporary exhibit of Jewish comic book artists

Interesting museum on the Sephardic Jews covering not just their Golden Age under the Umayyad caliphate but other periods as well. It is accessible for wheelchair users via a ramp and lift. There is no AC but it is not too hot either.

A very thoughtful museum about Jewish history and heritage in this region, small, cute and very well care for. Everything has English translation and the guide speaks English very well, so I learnt a lot. The chant singing at 5pm was the highlight of my visit.

A beautiful museum that highlights the history of the Sephardic jewish presence and contributions over the centuries in the Iberian Peninsula. The impact of the Spanish Inquisition, their forced conversion and diaspora.
