The narrow alleyways of the Jewish quarter contain homes of many ancient Hebrew families. Here, while tourists take pictures, Jewish teenagers head to their Yeshivas, schools for Torah studies. Near the Cardo you will find the Hurva Synagogue: recently restored, it offers beautiful views over the roofs of the quarter. Built by Ashkenazi Jews in the 16th century, the synagogue has been destroyed and banned several times; for Jewish people it's a symbol of their tormented history.

Gorée Island used to be an important centre for the transport of slaves headed to America. Today, it's worth a visit for the impressive colonial architecture, even though much of it is in ruins. The House of Slaves museum and memorial are an important point of interest, too.
