In 1415, the authorities closed the Jewish Besalu in a sector that had been bounded between Bridge Street and the river until the Fluvia started descending. There were Boarded up doors and windows of houses and streets, except for the Jews portal which were opened in the wall. Twenty years later there wasn't a Jew left in the village. The major cultural figure of the Jewish community of Besalu was the grammarian and troubadour Ramón Vidal who lived sometime during the 12th and 13th centuries.
