Explanation:
...duque de Bejar

...lodgings for his guests

The reference below has "guest houses," which cannot be used here because of the resulting repetition of "houses...house".

"Old" works better than "former" here to translate "antiguo."

The concept of "conjunto" does not, I think, require direct translation, given that the idea of "a group of houses within the Jewish quarter" is conveyed by my rendering.

Finally, the houses of the Jewish quarter were used by the Duke after the cessation of Jewish communal existence in Spain, so "afterward" is strongly implied in the original, and the translation would sound odd without it.

Suerte.
