Description

The Call Jueu is Palma's historic Jewish quarter, right in the heart of the city — an open-air ensemble of medieval lanes best explored on foot.

Narrow lanes and restored palaces

The Call Jueu is a web of narrow, largely traffic-free streets where the hustle of the city feels a world away. Old timber structures, traditional Mallorcan courtyards and beautifully restored palaces set the tone throughout. Take your time wandering the medieval alleys and peering into the patios of the old townhouses — the character of the quarter reveals itself gradually as you go.

A neighbourhood made for exploring

This quarter really comes into its own when you simply wander through it. The lanes are quiet and almost entirely free of traffic, making for a thoroughly relaxed stroll. Come evening, the narrow gaps between buildings frame the setting sun in a way that makes the whole place feel even more atmospheric.

Where to find it

The Call Jueu sits within the Centre district of Palma, with the address given as Carrer del Call 19. The quarter is an outdoor area with no fixed building — you step straight into it from the street.

A note on historical signage

There is very little on-site signage or explanation of the quarter's Jewish history. If you'd like to get to grips with the story of the Call Jueu, it's well worth doing a bit of reading beforehand or joining a guided tour.
