Calle de la Judería de Córdoba (Jewish Quarter of Córdoba Street)
Córdoba went through a period when Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together, albeit while the non-Muslim population was subjugated to the jizya tax and Jews had their own court system. On the Calle de los Judíos in the Jewish Quarter at the Tiberias Square there is a bronze statue of Maimonides, the prominent Jewish philosopher, Halakhist, rabbi, and physician from Córdoba.Places of interest
