1. 1

   The Jewish Quarter is a labyrinth of alleys where the atmosphere of the Middle Ages comes to life. Since the 9th century, Jews began to settle here.

   Other townspeople envied their wealth and feared their knowledge, suspecting that Jews were sorcerers. In 1492, the Inquisition ravaged the quarter and the Jews were expelled from Barcelona. In the Jewish quarter you will find the old synagogue, the mysterious Alchemist's House and antique dealers. The narrow streets look the same as they did centuries ago.

   In the past, it was an active center of city life, nowadays El Call streets are calm and uncrowded places. About 5,000 Jews lived here. The place was surrounded by a rampart, which meant that El Call's space was limited. It was in connection with this fact that the buildings of the Jewish district grew upward, which gives the impression that El Call streets are narrower and darker in comparison with other streets of the Gothic Quarter.
