The city of Barcelona offers so many tourist attractions that it deserves a prolonged stay to discover all its corners, monuments, squares, and, of course, the promenade by the sea. From Las Ramblas to La Barceloneta, from Montjuïc to the now called Gothic Quarter, from north to south and from east to west, this beautiful metrópolis draws an eclectic skyline, combining avant-garde architectural design with emblematic buildings and centuries-old history such as Santa Maria del Mar. In this magnificent urban context, the Call, or the old Jewish district, stands out in the very heart of the old town.

The Jewish district of Sagunto preserves the urban layout from the 16th century to the present day. Castell street was the limit of the Jewish quarter on the east, and on the west, we would have the Teatro Romano street. The Jewish quarter keeps one of its doors raised in the middle of the 14th century at the Jewish population’s request due to the security problems that were experienced at that time. The Jewish quarter is part of an exceptional historical complex, whose visit is a must for those who come to the city.
