Tucked inside Seville's old city walls, the Barrio de Santa Cruz has been a Roman settlement, an Islamic quarter, a Jewish ghetto, and a Napoleonic demolition site. Its name comes from a church built in 1391 on the site of a razed synagogue. The French knocked that down too.

Ferdinand III assigned the quarter to Seville's Jewish community in 1248, and his son established four synagogues within its walls. Then in June 1391, a mob incited by a fanatical archdeacon killed more than 4,000 residents. The Inquisition followed.

Traces survive in the street names. Calle del Agua is named for the 12th-century Islamic aqueduct visible in the Alcázar wall. A 17th-century iron cross so intricately wrought locals call it the Devil's Grille stands in the square where the church once was.
