Jewish · Sos del Rey Católico (EN)

Sos preserves what was the medieval Jewish quarter, known today as the "upper quarter". It was originally formed by about thirty houses around a main street from which you could access the center of town and from which arise several dead ends or callizos. The heart of the Jewish quarter is known as the Plaza de la Sartén, in one of whose houses is preserved the indentation where the Mezuzah is located. Given the proximity to Navarra, when in 1492 the decree of expulsion was signed, most of the Jews of the town crossed the border to the neighboring kingdom.
