Meeting point
Meeting your guide at the entrance to the old town, at a time set around your ship's arrival
La Juderia
The Jewish quarter, La Juderia, named in the Ladino the Sephardim brought when Spain expelled them in 1492. The community here was one of the oldest in Greece and numbered some four thousand people before the war. In July 1944 the Germans deported 1,673 of them to Auschwitz; 151 came back. The Square of the Martyred Jews, with its bronze seahorse fountain, is named for them.
Kahal Shalom and the Jewish Museum
Kahal Shalom, built in 1577 and the oldest synagogue in Greece, with a black and white pebble floor and the reading platform in the middle in the Sephardic manner. Next door the Jewish Museum tells the story of the community, street by street and family by family, and holds a Torah scroll some eight hundred years old.
Alhadeff Street and Park
Alhadeff Street and the park named after one of the leading families of the community, whose houses and school stood in these lanes.
Street of the Knights
The Street of the Knights, a cobbled slope of the 16th century lined with the inns where the knights lodged by nation, French, Spanish, Italian and English, each with its arms above the door. It is the most complete medieval street in Europe.
Palace of the Grand Master
The Palace of the Grand Master at the head of the street, built as the citadel of the order in the 14th century, blown up by an accident in 1856 and rebuilt by the Italians in the 1930s over Hellenistic and Roman mosaics brought from Kos.
