![]() Madrid is perhaps most notable in modern Jewish history as the site of the 1991 peace talks held between Israel, Jordan, Syria, and the Palestinians. Only during the mid-nineteenth century did Jews begin to return to Madrid and establish what is today, along with Barcelona, one of the two largest Jewish communities in Spain. Jewish life in Madrid came to an end in 1492 with the expulsion of Jews from all of Spain. Though once a thriving center of Jewish life, most of Madrid's Jewish population was brutally murdered during the riots of 1391, while many others fled or converted to escape persecution. ![]() The history of Madrid Jewry is much like the history of Jews elsewhere in Spain, consisting of periods of great development layered between periods of severe persecution. Located in central Spain, Madrid is the capital and largest city of Spain and home to 3,500 Jews. ![]() Virtual Jewish World: Table of Contents| Europe| Spain ![]()
