Jewish Neighborhood

Before visiting the cathedral, the IES group was supposed to visit a synagogue (Cordoba has a significant Jewish population…or at least used to), but we arrived too late and it was closed. It make up for it, we went to a museum of the history of Sephardic Jews, and heard a live performance of some of the ancient ways of playing music that they still practice today.
