The Archive Tour

Experience the rich history and enduring legacy of Barcelona’s Jewish community as you step into spaces normally closed to the public. Discover the Cathedral’s original 16th-century archives, where rare manuscripts and reproductions of documents dating back to 1105 reveal the voices of merchants, scholars, and families who shaped medieval life. Learn about the stories preserved in illuminated Catalan Haggadot and archival records while walking through the winding streets of El Call, Barcelona’s Jewish Quarter, connecting these historical documents to the everyday lives of the people who lived there. Explore Casa Adret, one of the city’s oldest Jewish homes, and see its medieval origins and archaeological remains while gaining insight into the revival of Jewish culture in Barcelona today.

Experience a one-of-a-kind journey for heritage enthusiasts and curious travelers, combining architecture, history, and archival discovery in a deeply immersive way. Discover the interplay between the city’s gothic landmarks, from the Cathedral and Kings Palace to Plaça St Felip Neri, and the hidden narratives within its Jewish community. Learn how modern initiatives like the Casa Adret Project and Mozaika continue to honor this heritage. Explore how your participation supports ongoing preservation efforts while connecting with the authentic cultural heartbeat of Barcelona.
