In the summer of 1391, Barcelona's Jewish community — with documented roots in the city going back to at least the 9th century and, by some estimates, making up as much as 15% of the population — was devastated by one of the most violent anti-Jewish pogroms in medieval European history. The riots were part of a wave of violence that swept across the Crown of Aragon and Castile that same year, fueled in large part by the inflammatory preaching of a Sevillian archdeacon named Ferrand Martínez, and they left much of El Call destroyed, forced large numbers of survivors into conversion, and effectively ended organized Jewish communal life in the city for roughly the next five centuries.
The 1391 violence was itself only a prelude. Just over a century later, the 1492 Alhambra Decree issued by Ferdinand and Isabella ordered the expulsion of every Jew in the newly unified Spanish kingdoms who had not converted, forcing an estimated 200,000 Sephardic Jews off the Iberian Peninsula altogether. This walk traces both chapters of that history on the real ground where they happened, not as a single abstract footnote.
Spain's oldest synagogue — commonly identified as the Sinagoga Major, though its precise founding century is still genuinely debated among historians — the real mikveh (ritual bathhouse), and the ruins of the Jewish Alchemist House all sit within a few steps of a surviving stretch of Barcelona's Roman-era city wall. That means this short route layers Roman stone, medieval Jewish religious life, and the site of real documented violence, all before ending at a cathedral whose own main structure was under construction during the very years this history unfolded, between 1298 and 1420.
