Jewish quarter of Toledo

One of the many entrances is the gate Puerta de Assulca, where there used to be a flea market where oil, butter, chickpeas, lentils and everything necessary for daily life were sold.

The main street is Calle del Mármol which connected the Jewish quarter with the rest of the city.

In addition, there was a neighborhood called Barrio del Degolladero near the Tagus river, so named because here was the designated place for the ritual slaughter (shechitah) of cattle.

The most well-known Jew from Toledo, Samuel Ha-Levi, lived on a street now known as Calle San Juan de Dios.

Jewish women would use the mikveh to ritually purify themselves after menstruation and childbirth, following the traditions of family purity.
