SEVILLE
Seville’s first Jewish community was founded in the 4th century. Following riots in 1391, a lot of the existing synagogues were turned into churches the most important of which is the Church of Santa Maria la Blanca; it is worth the visit. There is a huge collection of information relating to north and south America in the Archives of the Indies which is not limited to items such as the account books of Luis de Santagel, who was a Converso, and in 1492 helped Jews leave the country as well as financed Columbus.
