Unlike other places, the Jewish community in Cervera continued to grow at the beginning of the 15th century as a result of the upheaval there had been in other Jewish communities, such as the one in Barcelona, following the generalised disturbances that occurred in 1391, in addition to the Cervera governing authorities' desire to maintain the levels of income produced by taxing Jews.
The Sobirà Jewish quarter consequently grew to incorporate Carrer de Sant Francesc and other streets known at the time as Carrer d’en Ram, d’en Llobet and de n’Amell. It was only with the expulsion of the Jews, decreed in in 1492, that a two-century-long Jewish presence in the town finally came to an end.
