Visit Magre street and Placa de la Llana. This is one of the oldest parts of the city and is the former Jewish quarter. The Jews arrived in the city in the second half of the 13th century, following a call for them to do so from Crown Prince Peter, in accordance with which any Jews setting up in the city would be exempt for five years from the payment of taxes and would be given a grant of small plots of land free of charge in which to cultivate food. Thus was formed the Jewish quarter, which had a butcher and bakeries of its own. At night the district would be closed off in order to prevent disturbances. The quarter thus remained in marked isolation from the rest of the city, to the point that the houses which faced on to the church had no doors or windows.
