El Call
El Call is a medieval synagogue discovered in the
jewish quarters in Barri
Gotic after being forgotten by the world. It has
been there since Roman times. It was forgotten after
a wave of anti-semitism forced Jews in the city to
either be murdered or convert to christianity. The
synagogue was only recently discovered and open to
public after restoration.
