About
Datos rápidos: Te sorprenderá que en tan pocas calles se concentren seis sinagogas, con estilos que van de la ornamentación barroca a fachadas mudéjares. Al pasear se siente una presencia viva en las placas y epitafios, y el antiguo cementerio muestra lápidas tan apiñadas que forman casi un bosque de piedra.
Destacados: En un rincón donde las callejuelas se estrechan, un cementerio apretado muestra cerca de 12 000 lápidas superpuestas, algunas inclinadas como fichas de dominó, y bajo la piedra se calcula que reposan más de 100 000 personas. En otra sala, las paredes de una sinagoga lucen casi 77 297 nombres escritos a mano, las letras pequeñas forman un mapa de voces que se oye cuando la luz del atardecer atraviesa las vidrieras.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for cobblestones and steep, narrow cemetery steps.
- Check photography rules before entering synagogues; flash and tripods are often prohibited.
- Start at opening time to avoid tour-group crowds, or visit late afternoon for softer light and fewer people.
- Skip souvenir stalls in the main square and buy Judaica at the museum shop for higher-quality items.
