Centro Didáctico de la Judería de Segovia

A small museum that is full of history about the life and traditions of the Sephardic Jews in Segovia in the Middle Ages. Book a walking tour of the Jewish quarter (€10, Thursdays to Sundays, in Spanish) to stroll in the narrow streets once dwelled by the Jews, to learn more about the relationship between the Jewish leaders and the Castillian Royals and courtie. You will also enjoy unique views of Segovia from the ancient walls.

Quite a small museum but it takes about Jewish culture and history in segovia. Overall it should take around 1-1.5 hour to visit the entire museum. Also, most of the writings in the museum are in Spanish only which can be little problematic for non spanish speakers

A nice quick experience, providing a rundown of the ins & outs of Jewish culture and history in general and in Segovia in particular. With an emphasis on rabbi Abraham Señor who lived in this very building. The symbolic entrance price of 3€ is what makes this place a nice cultural stop along the way, but don't be expecting any antiques or historic timepieces, there aren't any to mention. If you're Jewish you won't learn anything new, but it is a nice experience nonetheless. The gift shop offers a range of interesting books about Sefardi history and cooking. Worth a visit, thats for sure.

This place is really cool! You get welcomed by a nice person and they charge you just €1.50 per person (and you can get discounts for being a teacher, nurse etc.). Inside there are a few rooms, one containing artifacts and information about it and the other has a 3D video of a sinagog, and interactive screens. It is great for children as the screens have photos which are split up into different sections (you can decide how many by the difficulty rating) and you have to put it back together into a puzzle. It's a really nice place and totally underrated as we were literally the only people in there and there should be more visitors for a great place like this :)

An educational and interactive museum on a street that was once the Juderia of Segovia. It is small, but there is a lot of history to learn and see, and worth visiting. The history if the practicing Jewish in Spain, from the Provençal origins to the migration to Castilla of the Jews of Andalucia escaping Almoravad intolerance in a more tolerant Christian north... only to be betrayed by growing antijudaism and ignorance that would culminate in the terrors of 1391 and finally the Expulsion if 1492 is a complicated and tragic history, but still a part of Spain's history and identity. Jews, and Jewish converts, left a mark on Spanish Catholicism, and tearing down the walls of division is something that would make the world better, and faith more sincere and real. Of course, museums cannot replace a living and thriving community of practicing Jews, but museums help us to remember, to learn, and to know. The Centro Didactico is perfect in this respect. We have been visiting all the major juderias in Castile, Catalunya, Aragon and Andalucia, and the Segovia Centro is very good and beautiful. It is a must-visit in order to not leave out an integral part of Spain when in historical Segovia, and to get the full picture of a Spain, which owes so much of its culture, cuisine, traditions and even unique Catholic flavor to the centuries of coexistence -- sometimes mere tolerance and sometimes sincerely amicable -- with the Sefardí, both northern more mystical Jews like Nachmonides and the southern more rational Jews like Maimonides. I highly recommend visiting the Centro Didáctico, no matter what your beliefs.

Nice museum on the history of Jewish Segovia.

Interesting museum about the Jewish history of Segovia! Useful information for a research paper I wrote. Also loved the projection model on the back wall

Poor taste, poor descriptions, poor exhibits. One does not commemorate the memory of the Jewish community by highlighting the story of the communitiy's Rebi who converted and abandoned his community.
