Carrer del Call takes its name from the Hebrew word "kahal," meaning community, and for several centuries this street was the spine of Palma's largest Jewish quarter. The city was unusual in having two separate Jewish quarters at once, the Call Major and the Call Menor, each with its own synagogue, school and internal life.

The quarter's history is one of accumulating pressure. The 1391 riots destroyed much of it and forced mass conversions. A secret synagogue on nearby Pelleteria Street, rebuilt by Portuguese Jews afterwards, was among many that disappeared. The Great Synagogue itself was confiscated, demolished, and replaced by the Church of Montision, whose entrance still reads "God loves the Gates of Zion."

Inquisitors patrolled these streets on Saturdays watching for smokeless chimneys, a sign that someone inside might be quietly observing the Sabbath.

VoiceMap's Jewish history tours walk Carrer del Call as their central route, tracing the Sefarad symbols still embedded in the pavement and connecting each street name to the families who once lived there.
