Jewish Memory in Madrid: Between History and Legend
The Jewish presence in Madrid dates back to the Middle Ages, when the city hosted a small but active community dedicated to trade and crafts. Although popular tradition associates Lavapiés with the old Jewish quarter, historical research reveals that Madrid’s Jews were not concentrated in a single neighborhood.
After the expulsion of 1492, the Sephardic legacy remained scattered in the city’s toponymy and memory, and today it is recognized in some corners of the historic center and in the cultural diversity that characterizes Madrid.
