Spanish Jews once constituted one of the largest and most prosperous Jewish communities in the world. This period ended definitively with the anti-Jewish riots of 1392 and Alhambra decree of 1492, as a result of which the majority of Jews in Spain (between 200,000 and 250,000) converted to Catholicism and those remaining (between 40,000 and 100,000) were forced into exile.

The Barcelona Jewish Quarter
As we stand in the Jewish Quarter of Barcelona we remember all those who refused to abandon their faith and are inspired by them.
Jewish quarter in Spain, Sephardi legacy [IGEO.TV]
Centuries of history are presented in Spain which remind Jewish presence, just walking and enjoying across their streets, buildings, arcs, squares, which are the perfect testimony of cohabitation between Jewish, Mudejars and Christians.
The Jewish quarter creation around Spanish cities was been setting along Middle Age. Generally, after new distributions through urban spaces, reconquests and repopulations, downtown spaces were allocated to Christians, setting aside Mudejars (conversed Muslims) to outskirts (named as Moorish quarter), while Jewish kept their social level, and used to cohabite with invaders.
As soon as Christian occupation was definitive, antijewish measures became stronger, which put Jewish into the background, making isolates neighborhoods called Jewish quarters.
Probably, in Spain there were quite important Jewish quarters, at least 300. Recently, Jewish Spanish Association has been created, 26 cities which still conserve their special urban structure.
We´ll visit four of them, selected by chance:
-CÓRDOBA: One of the most visited places in the city, it's a white quarter decorated with flowers.
-TOLEDO: Main sanctuary for people looking for Jewish memories.
-CÁCERES: old Jewish quarter with popular houses, whitewash walls and big bricked chimneys, adapted to the land´s gradient, therefore, quite steep slopes, it is called Quebrada Quarter.
-HERVÁS: a respected urban design, narrow streets extremely tight, balconies with big cantilevers, native materials. Almost award-winning as best place 2013, by Repsol guide.

Jewish presence in Barcelona dates back to ancient times.
After 1391, Barcelona's Jewish community technically ceased to exist and its members were dispersed.
The Catalan word call refers to the area where the Jews lived. Sephardic communities living in exile, did use the Hebrew word cal (or cahal) to designate the communal meeting place.

Barcelona jewish History
According to archeological evidence there existed a sizeable Jewish community in the province of Catalonia, where Barcelona is located, from as early as the beginning of the Common Era. For centuries thereafter, the Jews of Barcelona managed their own local affairs and lived relatively well while confined to the Juderia (Jewish quarter).
In 1263, King James I of Aragon convened a religious disputation in Barcelona with the aim of convincing the Jews to convert to Christianity. Nachmanides, the great Jewish sage and bible scholar, was called upon to represent the Jews of Spain. The disputation lasted four days, during which time Nachmanides argued passionately for the validity of Judaism, and the Jewish community of Barcelona waited nervously for the King’s reaction. At the end of the disputation King James I awarded Nachmanides a large some of money for his eloquence and famously stated that he had never heard someone argue so well for such an unjust cause. Yet, despite the King’s kind words, Nachmanides was later forced to leave Spain and eventually went on to settle in the Land of Israel.
By the fourteenth century the situation of the Jews of Barcelona and all of Spain had worsened significantly. Numerous anti-Semitic decrees were enacted by the monarchy and Catholic Church, and many Jews converted to Christianity while secretly adhering to Judaism to escape persecution. On Ash Wednesday 1391, a series of Church-led riots broke out across the country. The riots reached Barcelona in early August, during which time thousands of Jews were murdered or forcibly converted. While the Jewish expulsion from Spain did not occur until the reign of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1492, all the Jews of Barcelona either fled or converted years earlier following the riots of 1391.
Barcelona remained devoid of any Jewish presence for more than five hundred years until several Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews came from North Africa and Eastern Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century. Today, an estimated 3,500 Jews reside in Barcelona, making it the largest concentration of Jews in Spain. In addition to its two functioning synagogues (one Ashkenazi and the other Sephardic), the Barcelona Jewish community also has a Jewish day school, old age home, Chabad house, and an annual Jewish film festival
