Jew Street kochi - Location: About 10 km from Ernakulam town
It's almost a walk down the lanes of antiquity. The Jew Street is
lined with shops that sell curios, antique pieces of crockery, carved
wooden furniture, bronze and brass sculptures, remnants of traditional
houses, and jewellery. The antique sellers of these streets are the
descendants of a fast dwindling population of Jews who settled down
here in AD 52. Every piece that they sell has its own tale to narrate
- of a palace or a home of the nobility, of travels across many lands
and ages.
The Jewish Synagogue here, a mark of exceptional architecture and
history, is a fascination for hundreds of visitors everyday. There
are a few other Jewish settlements too in the State. But Kochi has
made a name with its synagogue and the popular antique shops.
