The Jewish Quarter

In the old city of Cordoba, as in many others, there is a Jewish quarter dating back hundreds of years.  Under Muslim rule before 1000 AD there was religious freedom, but in later centuries the Jewish quarter was walled in to defend it against attacks from outside.  Today it is an area of narrow winding streets and little shops and craftsmen's workshops.
