the call attacked

Le call de Gérone, l'un des plus importants de Catalogne et le berceau d'une école kabbalistique dont Nahmanide fut la figure majeure, fut attaqué pendant l'épidémie.

Le quartier, construit en pente sous la cathédrale, existe toujours : ses ruelles, ses escaliers et les vestiges de ses bains rituels en font l'ensemble juif médiéval le mieux conservé de la péninsule. La communauté survécut à cette attaque ; elle ne survécut pas à celle de la fin du siècle.
