The documented story of the house and the Jewish lives lived within its walls

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I visit Casa Adret?
Every one of our Jewish heritage tours includes time inside the house, so that is the best way to see it with the full story of the quarter around it. If you only want Casa Adret, you can request our guided visit of 30 to 45 minutes. Mozaika also holds cultural events at the house, listed on its agenda. Casa Adret is not open as a regular museum, so there is no drop-in entry.

The visit lasts 30 to 45 minutes and runs in English, Catalan and Spanish, for groups of 2 to 25.
Scheduled visits (Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30): €25 per person, minimum €75 per visit.

Student and local rates are available on request.
Is Casa Adret really the home of the Rashba?
No. This is a common misconception repeated by some guides and tour companies. Casa Adret is a genuine medieval building in Barcelona's Jewish quarter, but it was not the home of Rabbi Solomon ben Adret, the Rashba. Toldot Barcelona tells the documented history of the house and its Jewish owners instead of the popular myth. We take guests inside to see its archaeological remains, its award-winning architecture and its role today as a Jewish cultural hub. Most tours that mention Casa Adret stop outside the door.
Is Casa Adret really 12th century?
Its foundations date to the 12th century, and the house has been altered many times since: balconies in the 18th century, a third floor in the 19th, a restoration in the 1950s and an award-winning rehabilitation in 2000.
Who were the Adrets who lived here?
The last documented Jewish owner was Astruc Isaac Adret, from a wealthy family in Cervera. After the attacks of 1391 he and his wife Bonafilla converted, and the house was sold in 1393.
Does my visit support Casa Adret?
Yes. Every booking with Toldot Barcelona helps support the running of the house, its preservation and its community education projects.
Can a study group or cultural group book a session at Casa Adret?
Yes. We run seminars and study sessions in the patio, with presentations and reproductions of medieval documents. Contact us for group sessions and tailored programmes.
