Medieval Barcelona was home to one of Europe’s largest Jewish populations, and the beating heart of the city’s Jewish community was the El Call district located in dense tangle of the Gothic quarter. Sadly, this vibrant and thriving community was badly affected by increasingly anti-semitic popular sentiment and government policies in the 14th century, when a series of brutal pogroms devestated El Call. The horrifying St. Dominic’s Day massacre in 1391 and subsequent actions of the Spanish Inquisition made things worse, culminating in the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. Wandering through atmospheric El Call today is a sobering experience
