JUDERÍA DE TORTOSA

We could not start with another. The “Judería” (Jewish Quarter) of Tortosa is a maze of narrow streets and picturesque squares with a well. Se trata de una estructura urbana que se ha conservado casi intacta. Between the 12th and 15th centuries, the Jewish community of Tortosa was one of the most important of Catalonia until the pressures and persecutions impelled by “Reyes Católicos” (Catholic Kings) culminated with the expulsion of the Jews of the Peninsula in 1492.
