The Lavapiés neighborhood with more than 500 years of history, was the old Jewishness of the city. Some historians claim takes the name due to the act of ablution made by the Jews before their prayers. There was a source in the square where they washed their limbs as ritual purification before going to the synagogue. After the expulsion of the Jews, the Church of San Lorenzo was built on the site. The area is booming thanks to its multicultural diversity and its appreciated offer of cultural events for the opening of art galleries and theaters and their proximity to museums.
