LucenaFew Jewish communities in Al-Andalus ever became as famous as Lucena, known as the Pearl of Sepharad.

The traces of this community include a tombstone bearing the name of Rabbi Amicos in the Jewish Necropolis, the largest in Sepharad with more than 350 graves. Jewish Necropolis.

Huelva

The legacy of Jewish culture in Jaén is not restricted to the Jewish Quarter, but can also be seen in its legends, traditions, cuisine and history.Outside the bounds of the traditional Jewish Quarter, the Gothic frieze in the cathedral, the Arabic baths of Villardompardo and the old Dominican convent (once the headquarters of the Holy Inquisition) all help to paint a picture of a Jewish Jaén that lasted almost until the 18th century, long after the Jews were expelled from Andalusia in 1483.Cathedral. This is the starting point of Jaén's Jewish heritage route, which runs along the foot of the hill home to Santa Catalina Castle, a symbol of the city's history.Fountain of Magdalena.

Jaén

Yad or ritual pointer. During the excavations of the site traditio-nally considered to be the center of the Jewish Quarter, in 2004 a marble object was found inside what was identified as the pantry of a dwelling. Its archaeological context and stratigraphic dating confirm that this object was used by a Jewish person in the 14th century. Old synagogue of Santa Cruz. In the Royal Monastery of Santa Clara in Jaén, the rear facade that looks onto Calle de Santa Cruz has a small piece of wall protruding from the rest. This piece of wall has been identified as the only remaining vestige of the old Santa Cruz Church and an even older synagogue dating from medieval times. Calle de Santa Cruz.

Many historians and academics have considered Andalusia to be the country of the Jews during Medieval times. With one of the largest Jewish communities anywhere in the world at the time, it set standards of behavior and organization for Jews in other countries.

Today, Sepharad (the Hebrew name given to Spain), is a place to which the descendants of Spanish Jews forced to abandon the Iberian Peninsula by the Catholic Kings in 1492 may return, if they so wish. The Jews left, but in Andalusia their roots remain: their houses, places of worship, places of work; and their presence can be seen in the form of monuments, street layouts, toponyms, cuisine, words, historical personalities, tradition and legends.

At least, it is a place to which Jews may once again return, after the approval in June 2015 of the Sephardi nationality act, an initiative to recognize that being Sephardi means being Spanish.

There are currently only a few thousand Jews living in Spain, but the descendants of Spanish Jews, the Sephardim, make up approximately a fifth of the world's Jewish population.
