TOP ACTIVITIES
El Call: The Jewish Quarter of Girona
Girona was one of the great centers of medieval Judaism on the Iberian Peninsula, hosting an active community from the 9th century until the expulsion of 1492. The Jewish quarter, known as El Call, stretches along Força Street and its surroundings, and today is one of the best preserved in Europe. For centuries, Girona stood out as a center of Kabbalistic and rabbinical study, being the birthplace of figures such as the Ramban (Nachmanides), one of the most influential sages of medieval Judaism.
Walking through El Call is to delve into centuries of history and spirituality. The Museum of Jewish History, with its medieval mikveh, and nearby Besalú, with its synagogue and mikveh, preserve the living legacy of Kabbalah and Sephardic life in medieval Catalonia.
