Jewish Quarter Field Trip

Jewish Quarter Field Trip
We took a class trip to the old Jewish quarter of the city, located right next to Placa Sant Jaume and the Gothic quarter.  There are few remains of this area due to repression of Judaism and the Spanish Inquisition.  This part of the city is called 'El Call' which is what Jewish areas are typical led called.
