The jewish quarter

This was the closed neighbourhood where the Jewish community of Tarragona lived, and which was arranged around a central square called the Plaza del Angels.

The neighbourhood, with an elongated shape, was enclosed between the outer walls and the ancient walls of the roman forum.

El Call, which is Catalan for Jewish Quarter, was established during the reign of Jaime I and included buildings such as a Synagogue, a school, baths, and a market. It was protected by the king’s Castle.
