This is a temple, a holy place of worship, not some website name. Its correct name is Synagogue de Lorca. We stayed at the Parador and were given a terrific afternoon tour by Elena. It was supposed to be in Spanish. Since we were only...More

Extremely well reconstructed.

We visited this during our day at Lorca Castle and the history behind the Jews at Lorca is fascinating. There is a guided tour of the site. The synagogue is very well preserved and restoration has been done very skilfully and sensitively.

Touching and well preserved

Family of 4 at €4 each was well spent on this tour within the castle of Lorca. Our guide spoke excellent English and made the tour feel alive. A very silent place considering it is covered over by the hotel. Finding this part of Jewish...More

Pay the extra - don't miss it.

On the site of the castle (and the Parador hotel) these excavations are well worth visiting. You have to go with a (Spanish) guide into this section; we were fortunate in that other visitors didn't arrive, so the guide gave us a private visit in...More

Worth a visit to support the good work

Lorca suffered a really bad earthquake (2) in May 2011. Several churches and monuments were destroyed. Work is underway to restore them. We did not know of the earthquake before we arrived. We were interested in Lorca as we wanted something out of the ordinary....More
