Jewish culture. Girona, city mother of Israel

Scientific, literary and philosophical production during the Middle Ages featured remarkable figures from Catalan Judaism among its leading protagonists. The large-format panel that dominates this section pays tribute to all those distinguished individuals. Among them, Mossé ben Nahman, or Nahmanides, the Master of Girona, stands out. The most brilliant figure of medieval Jewish Girona is honoured with a dedicated space highlighting the quality and renown of his work, as well as the journey of his life from Girona to Israel.
