During this tour I will tell you why the Jewish community in Split enjoyed a special status and why Split would not be the same without it!
For a relatively small city with a dominantly catholic tradition, Jewish heritage in Split makes an incredibly important part of history. They had a considerable influence on the local economy - they built a free port and opened the first bookshops. The Jewish community of Split is one of the oldest in Europe.
The archaeological excavation from the nearby Roman Salona prove that the Jews had lived there with the Romans before moving to Split. Those Jews were known as the Romaniote Jews. In two millennia of its existence, the Jewish community in Split faced many challenges, including the toughest: World War II.
Join me on this tour and discover the third oldest Synagogue in Europe, admire one of the oldest and most beautiful Jewish cemeteries. I will share with you about many accomplishments of Jewish community members in Split!
