The Call Menor.
Sant Honorat street-in front of the map
Outlined on the plaque is the Call Menor, the smaller Call. During the 13th century there was a growth spurt within the community and space was becoming an issue, living conditions were cramped. The community asked and received permission from King Jaume II to create a second space, The Call Menor. In the 13th century, due to a rise in antisemetic laws and persecution in Europe, the Jews of Southern France were forced into exile in 1306. King Jaume II granted permission to receive some here. Most of them moved to the Call Menor. The Call Menor, located outside the Roman walls, was not a closed area, more a series of streets in which Jews and Christians shared a space. It would become a location where Conversos would live after the riots of 1391.
