History of the Jews in Spain and Portugal

Class Details

According to tradition, Jews migrated to the Iberian Peninsula in the time of the 2nd Temple. The crucially important period from the 10th to the 12th century paved the road to ‘The Golden Age’ of Judaism, Islam and later ironically, to Anti-Semitism. It also contributed to 18th and 19th century art, philosophy and the history that made UNESO declare Flamenco a ‘World Heritage Treasure’ in 2016.
