The Medieval Synagogue of the Lorca Jewish Quarter opens a new musealisation (16/11/2018)

The Minister of Tourism and Culture, Miriam Guardiola, along with the mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, visited today the works executed for the musealization of the medieval Synagogue of the city, found in the vicinity of the castle.

The new musualization will offer a more attractive route to one of the most important Hebrew temples in Europe.

The finding in 2003 and the subsequent excavation and valorisation of the remains of the synagogue and the medieval Jewish quarter of Lorca "has meant that the City of the Sun has become a reference center of interpretation of the Jewish legacy in Sefarad," said the Minister of Tourism and Culture.

In the Region of Murcia "we have a unique synagogue, is one of the few exponents of this type of religious building that was not desecrated, or later transformed into a Christian church, which gives it, without doubt, an exceptional value from the point of architectural and cultural view ", explained Guardiola.

The musealization with which ends the recovery of the synagogue of Lorca adds to the different claims that make this city unique in terms of its heritage and cultural interest as the ambitious project of history, photographs and videos to join the Network of Jewish Quarters 'Paths of Sepharad'.
