Since 1273, the district where this avenue is located has been known as the "Barrio de Acaba" or "Barrio Alto de la Judería". It was originally a little Jewish quarter but gradually became one of the main quarters as it expanded. With the passage of time and several wars it stopped being solely Jewish, as a lot of homes were acquired by Christian families when the Jewish owners died. The construction of a Synagogue and school where the holy scriptures were taught reflects the importance of this quarter.
