MUHBA El Call

The Museum’s heritage space in the Jewish district, which opened in March 2015, is the best starting point to discover how Barcelona's Jewish community lived in medieval times.

The Call preserves its name from the time when it was the home of the Jews of Barcelona, a people present in the city from ancient times and with a very active role in the urban community of the Middle Ages. The street plan of the medieval Jewish quarter is preserved, together with abundant documents in the city’s archives. The Museu d’Història de Barcelona’s centre in the Call, located in the former house of the veil weaver Joseph Bonhiac, covers the important role played the Jews in the city’s history and the splendour of their cultural legacy which has survived through time and has a universal value.
