The street of the wealthy
Sant Honorat street-in front of the map
This street was one the most luxurious of the Call, hosting the houses of prominent community members, doctors, head rabbis, advisors to the king and courts, and often members of the Nesiāim,
leaders of the Jewish community. Prominent figures include important surgeon Bonjuha Cabrit, and Moshe Natan, chef rabbi, poet and financier.
Also located on this street was an Al Funduq (corn exchange) owned by Massot Avengena. This building was a place where traveling merchants could stay and store their stock. Remains of silos for wheat, doorways for animal livestock have been found, as well as luxury items, such as coral and silk. Sites like this show the importance Jews had within the Mediterranean trade industry.
