The Councillor of Tourism of the Municipality of Lorca, Francisco Montiel, and the President of the Foundation Sefarad Beitenu, Aharon Franco, presented the lecture "Jewish Culture in Lorca, to be held between January 11 and March 8 in the city.

It is a cycle that included in the Product Plan to Promote Tourism, organized by Lorca "Lorca Taller del Tiempo", the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Municipality of Lorca, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Autonomous Community Murcia, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade and CECLOR.

As pointed out by Montiel, the reason for the completion of this cycle lies in "the need to deepen their knowledge of Judaism and the historical presence of Jews in Lorca, since the discovery in 2003 of the old Jewish quarter and the medieval synagogue in the castle was proven the importance of Jewish culture in the history of Lorca, and the importance of Sun City for Jewish communities. "

The Councillor of Tourism added, "This important discovery has led to an intensification of ties between Jewish culture and Lorca, who is revealed through cultural activities such as this lecture or the exhibition" Lights of Sefarad ", and especially through the work to restore the Jewish quarter and the synagogue, which Lorca will become a tourist and cultural reference for the Jews. "

The series "Jewish Culture in Lorca" will therefore be a further contribution to interpret Jewish culture from a historical perspective and cultural tourism.
