Abstract

In the light of the new archival documentation, found during recent research at various Italian and foreign institutes, this essay recounts the highlights of the history of ancient Jewish quarter (juharia) of the castle of Cagliari, from its formation in the early years of the 14th century until the edict of expulsion of the Jews from Spanish kingdoms, decreed by King Ferdinand in 1492. In particular we focus on urban structure of the small neighborhood built along the walls of the ancient Castrum after the Catalan-aragonese conquest of the city.
