Discovery of the medieval Synagogue and the Pasaje del Niño Perdido
The urban fabric of the old Jewish quarter of Utrera hides one of the most relevant archaeological finds of recent years in Europe: the Sinagoga de Utrera. This 14th-century Jewish temple, recently recovered and located in the emblematic Pasaje del Niño Perdido, preserves the Hejal (wall of orientation towards Jerusalem) and the structure of the prayer hall that was later converted into a hospital and an orphanage.
A walk through the shaded alley of Pasaje del Niño Perdido allows you to contemplate the renovated pavement where the bronze Star of David inlaid in front of the historic doorway stands out. The uniqueness of the space offers a direct immersion into the coexistence of the three medieval cultures in the Andalusian countryside.
Walking through the exterior of the alley and the surroundings of the synagogue is free admission and has free access at any time of the day. To learn the details of the excavations, it is recommended to combine the walk with the informative material of the local Interpretation Center.
