Jewish Quarter Educational Centre, Segovia

The Jewish Quarter Educational Centre is located in the former home of Abraham Seneor, a prominent figure in the Jewish community. Situated in the Jewish quarter, the property occupied a significant portion of a city block and was enclosed by a surrounding wall known as the Sun Gate. Although the home consisted of three separate buildings, only one is currently visible, as it now serves as the Educational Center of the Jewish Quarter, belonging to the City Council.

The primary objective of the Educational Center is to convey the rich history of the Sephardic Jews who once resided in Segovia. Through its facilities and a range of annual activities, the Center aims to promote understanding and provide an illustrative experience of the essence of the neighborhood that housed the largest Jewish population in the Crown of Castile.

Within the Educational Center, visitors can explore exhibits, displays, and informative materials that delve into the history, culture, and traditions of the Sephardic Jews in Segovia. The Center serves as a focal point for education, offering visitors a glimpse into the daily lives, customs, and contributions of the Jewish community that once thrived in the area.

Through its educational initiatives, the Center encourages dialogue and fosters appreciation for the historical significance of the Jewish quarter. It aims to create an environment that facilitates cultural understanding and serves as a platform for exploring the shared heritage of Segovia's diverse population.
