Although the Jewish legacy in Granada is not as evident as in other cities, their presence has left a deep mark since the dawn of history, and it is time to discover it.
The history of the Jews in Granada is an exciting and challenging one, full of ups and downs, splendour and decadence. In the 10th century, Granada was known as Garnata Medinat al-Yahaud or the village of the Jews. During the 11th century, the Jewish community flourished and reached its peak thanks to the Jewish vizier Shamuel ha Naguid, who played a fundamental role in the development and splendour of the city. Poets such as Moshe Ibn Ezra and Ibn Gabirol passed through and were inspired by the city. It was a city of refuge for some Jews during the Nasrid dynasty (AH 13th-14th), the last kingdom of al-Andalus. Here they found protection and a place where they could keep their culture and religion alive.
