 | | Legend has it that some of the Jews who were exiled by Nebuchadnezzar (586 BCE) settled in Granada. | | | On March 31, 1492, the saga of the Jews of Granada came to a crushing conclusion, when Ferdinand and Isabelle signed the edict of expulsion in the "City of the Jews." | | | Later, under the rule of the Almohads regime (1148-1212), only Jews who had converted to Christianity were allowed to live in the city. |
