Theodosia (Caffa), today Feodosiya in Crimea, is one of the oldest cities on the peninsula, founded by Greek colonists. It was home to a Jewish community from Antiquity, reinforced in the Middle Ages by Byzantine Jews, converted Khazars, and, after the Genoese conquest (13th century), by Jewish merchants from the Mediterranean basin. The Karaite community of Caffa was one of the most important in Crimea until the Ottoman conquest (1475).
