Exploring the jewish heritage In Barcelona

The Barcelona Jewish Quarter was attacked and destroyed in 1391, already 100 years before the Inquisition. This is the main reason why there aren’t many visually attractive elements left from our middle ages. However, if you are interested in what’s left of the Jewish heritage in Barcelona and you have an interest in history of the Jews in Barcelona, you’ll be able to retrace the steps back to the times when the“Call” or Barcelona Jewish Quarter was in its full bloom.

Despite not much more than its walls has been preserved, its history is fascinating. The antiques and artwork decorating it are donations.more in forever Barcelona     Discover Barcelona Actively
