The important Jewish community in Castelló d’Empúries is documented from the middle of the XIII century. It enjoyed privileges granted by the counts and grew to have around 300 inhabitants. It was practically wiped out by the 1492 decree of expulsion issued by the Catholic Monarchs. The old Call was the area made up by the streets de la Muralla, dels Jueus, del Call, del Calabró, Peixateríes Velles and the plaça de la Llana, and it still has the irregular form from the medieval era.
