15. Andrés Laguna House. Jewish Quarter Didactic Center (Casa de Andrés Laguna. Centro Didáctico de la Judería)
Header image
Doctor Andrés Laguna was born in this house.
Laguna was a prominent personality in the fields of Medicine and Scientific Research, and the doctor of King Charles I and of the popes Paul III and Julius III.
The palace had belonged to Abraham Seneor, distinguished member of the Segovia Jewish quarter, who was Major Judge of the Jewish districts in the Castile Kingdom.
The façade is related to the Mexía de Tovar family. Inside we find the Jewish Quarter Didactic Centre, which offers a general vision of the Jewish world and the Segovia Sephardi Jews through different audiovisual means and has a shop and book store specialized in Jewish cultural fields. It also organizes a well consolidated cycle of activities.
