The medieval Jewish cemetery was located 20 minutes away from the Jewish quarter, and to this day, this mount is known as Montjuïc, “mount of the Jews”. The first reference to it dates from 1091. After 1391, when there were no Jews officially living in the city, the cemetery was abandoned and the King gave permission for its tombstones to be sold and reused for new constructions in the city. In the 1940s, remains of the cemetery were uncovered. Human remains recovered were put into storage by the local authorities, where they are still currently held. Development of the area went underway and to this day only an empty plot of land remains untouched and is the sole reminder of the Jewish connection to the space.
