Dubrovnik Jewish Heritage Walk

We begin our journey at Pile Gate, the main western entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old City, where you’ll get an overview of the city’s layered history. From there, we take a short walk to Kolorina Bay, a scenic and symbolic spot that sets the stage for the story of arrivals, resilience, and refuge. Entering the Old City, we weave through narrow stone streets, passing significant locations tied to the city’s Jewish community — including hidden corners, architectural details, and former residences that echo centuries of life and legacy. As we explore the heart of the Old City, you’ll hear about the community’s relationship with the Republic of Ragusa, moments of hardship and protection, and the unique status Jews held throughout different periods. The tour culminates in Jewish Street, where we visit the Dubrovnik Synagogue, one of the oldest Sephardic synagogues still in use in Europe — a quiet and powerful place to end our story.
