Jewish Heritage Split Tour

Prepare to be captivated by an untold tale! Ancient history whispers secrets of a steadfast Jewish community that significantly shaped this region for centuries. From the 2nd century to the present day, their influence remained constant, pivotal to the city's evolution. Meet Daniel Rodriga, a Sephardic Jew, whose legacy transformed Split into a vital medieval Adriatic port— after Emperor Diocletian. Intriguingly, one of Europe's oldest synagogues stands as a living testament, one of the triumphant survivors post-World War II. Immerse yourself in the intertwined narratives of Roman, Jewish, and Christian legacies. In Split, they're inseparable threads woven through time, each reliant on the other's influence. As your guide, I'll introduce you to the heart of the matter—the Synagogue, where a member of the Jewish community will add a personal touch. While I don't hail from Jewish heritage, I'm passionate about unveiling this compelling chapter of history.
