Jewish Quarter, Conversos and the Inquisition in Seville: audio walks

The history of Jews and conversos in Seville needs streets and names as well as dates. This theme follows their spaces and the arrival of the Inquisition through urban walks. It approaches changes in shared life, persecution and the stories the city preserves, without turning the past into an image in which conflict disappears.

In “Central Seville: Legends and Truths”: Autos-da-fé in a former market square place the Inquisition among the stories of central Seville.

In “Santa Cruz: Seville's Jewish Quarter”: You begin in the summer of 1391, when the Jewish quarter was attacked, and follow what became of its synagogues: one is now Santa María la Blanca; another was the church where Murillo was buried, and it no longer exists.

In “Triana: Castle, Potters and River”: You go down the alley named after the Inquisition to the castle where the tribunal set up in 1481, and which floods and the centuries turned into a market.
