Historically, a Jewish community existed during medieval times. In 1272, Shlomo ibn Aderet mediated a dispute between the Jewish communities of Agramunt and Lérida. The Jewish and muslim communities were expelled in the 1492 expulsion of the Jews. In the 1980s, a street in the historical Jewish quarter, also called a Call (the term is thought to have originated from the word kahal in Hebrew, meaning "community"), was renamed to "carrer del Call," or "Street of the Call."
