House ruins, Museum of Jewish History, Girona, Catalonia
Excavated ruins of a 13th century Jewish house, at the Museum of Jewish History, opened 2000 in the Bonastruc ca Porta Centre, in the Call Jueu or Jewish Quarter, in the old town of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. The house burnt down in the late 14th century and was rebuilt as a butcher's shop in the 15th century. It was excavated 2012-23. The Jewish community in Girona grew from the 9th century and flourished from the 12th century, when the city housed an important Kabbalistic school, until their expulsion in 1492 under the Catholic Monarchs.
