You are standing in front of what is claimed to be one of the oldest buildings in Barcelona. The house was centrally located in El Call, on the corner of two of the main streets of the medieval Jewish quarter. The exact origins of the building are unclear, however historical studies show that windows on the second floor, and the building's foundations date back to the XII century. Its last Jewish owner was Astruc Adret from Cervera. The property was sold in 1393, after the brutal attacks against the Jewish community in 1391, when Astruc Adret converted to Christianity and was forced to leave El Call. Like many houses at the time, the ground floor was used as a workshop, allowing direct street access for customers. The current patio would have been much bigger and had a well, a luxury at the time, with possible space to grow food or rear some animals. A staircase connected the second floor, leading to two separate entrances; original holes on the doorposts indicate space for the mezuzot, marking these as Jewish homes. This floor housed at least two different family units who lived in one of the most prominent addresses of the Call.
