About Seville
Seville's Jewish community was one of the largest in Castile before the 1391 massacres, which began here under the agitation of Archdeacon Ferrand Martinez. The destruction of the Sevillian Jewish community signaled the start of Iberian Jewry's century-long decline toward the 1492 expulsion.
