The site of the Jewish Synagogue of Besalú is emotional and moving for anyone who can imagine the daily life of the Jews of Besalú, the interactions, social integration and religious separation out of piety -- a piety that Chrstians would have done well to emulate -- with everyone in the community. It is emotional if we are strong enough to imagine the moment things got worse, when the Jews of Besalú were forced to leave everything and move to Girona, a city which they hoped would provide some safety, even if only for a short while. The Synagogue remains, the classroom for the young boys, the upper level for the women, the room for Torah study, and the assembly area, are all exposed and free to visit, with plenty of places to sit and read your siddur and remember. The Mikvah is locked and requires purchasing a guided tour ticket, which costs less than 2 euros. Well worth doing. Our guide proved to be very educated and sensitive to the history, and made the private tour part of the wonderful experience. Visit Besalú, you will love it.

The Besalú Synagogue, nestled in the historic town of Besalú, Spain, is a fascinating remnant of the Jewish community that once thrived in the region during the Middle Ages. This small yet historically significant site dates back to the 13th century and provides a unique glimpse into the life and culture of Sephardic Jews in medieval Catalonia. Though the structure is modest, its significance is immense, as it represents one of the few remaining synagogues from that era in Spain. The synagogue is part of a larger complex that includes a mikveh, or ritual bath, which is remarkably well-preserved and highlights the community's dedication to religious practices. Visiting the Besalú Synagogue is not just an exploration of a building, but a journey into a vibrant past, offering insights into the religious and social dynamics of a Jewish community that was integral to the town's history. It's a poignant reminder of Spain's diverse cultural heritage and the enduring legacy of its Jewish population.

Incredible historical site. I highly suggest reaching out to the tourism office in Besalu if you want a tour of the Mikveh, as they only open it at odd hours.

Tiene horario, si se quiere visitar es mejor mirar la web, La villa condal de Besalú conserva un conjunto patrimonial judío único en Catalunya: un micvé del siglo XII y vestigios de una sinagoga, fechada en el siglo XIII. En el año 1966, Besalú fue declarada conjunto histórico y artístico nacional. Desde entonces han sido muchos los hallazgos realizados y magnífica la recuperación patrimonial desarrollada. Sus calles medievales de trazado irregular y adaptadas a la orografía de la ciudad, los arcos, las escaleras, las casas de piedra, las tiendas que abren todo el año para ofrecer al viajero los productos artesanales de la comarca, el soberbio puente románico por el que se accede al núcleo urbano superando las aguas del Fluvià..., todo en Besalú guarda el encanto de un tiempo en el que esta hoy pequeña población de la Garrotxa gerundense fue plaza fuerte y cabeza de un condado próspero y poderoso, cuyos médicos judíos gozaron de una fama internacional y cuya aljama, al amparo de los condes, llegó a constituir posiblemente entre un diez y un quince por ciento de su población.

Emplazada en lo alto de un monte, en la confluencia de los ríos Fluvià y Capellades (su propio nombre en latín, Bisuldunum, indica su situación como fortaleza entre dos corrientes fluviales), Besalú fue un lugar estratégico ya desde tiempos de los celtas y los íberos, con señales de habitación desde el siglo VI antes de Cristo. Durante más de un siglo, desde la muerte de Wilfredo el Velloso en el 902, hasta la muerte de Bernardo III en 1111, cuando pasó a la Casa de Barcelona, Besalú constituyó la cabeza de un condado independiente de gran prosperidad, como recuerdan los bellos edificios románicos que han llegado hasta...
