Known popularly as the &#34;<strong>Call</strong>&#34;, this area was home to <strong>one thousand inhabitants</strong> during the Middle Ages, making it one of the most important Jewish communities in Spain&#39;s history.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#57646f;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">As you explore the pretty narrow streets of the Jewish Quarter, the hometown of <strong>Nahmanides</strong>, the Medieval Kabbalistic philosopher, physician and Sephardic Rabbi, you&#39;ll visit the spots where the city&#39;s <strong>three synagogues </strong>were located.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#57646f;margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">During the guided tour you will find out all about the<strong> customs and traditions of the Jewish people who lived here</strong>, as well as the tools that they used, and the design of their houses.
