Carrer del Call

Barcelona · Spania · Gränd · Skrekk 3/5

When masons broke up a threshold in the old Jewish quarter in 1614, they found human bones laid in a pattern – a foundation sacrifice, the city whispered.

Carrer del Call was the main street of El Call, Barcelona's medieval Jewish quarter, wiped out in the pogrom of 1391 when hundreds of residents were killed and the rest forced to flee or convert. The street's own eeriest episode came in 1614, when masons working in one of the houses broke up a threshold and found human bones laid beneath it. The city at once whispered of foundation sacrifice – the ancient belief that a body walled into the base protects the house. Whose bones they were, no one ever learned. In the narrow lanes, where medieval stones still carry Hebrew inscriptions, night walkers tell of shadows sliding along the walls and of a silence that falls abruptly, as if the quarter itself remembered what it lost.
