This picture maps the Jewish quarters in the city, including the two major ones in La Horta (southeast - 12th century to around 1412) and La Lana (northeast, mid 15th to 1492) neighborhoods. Spanish historian Manuel F. Ladero Quesada considered that by the time of the expulsion 20% of Zamora city population was Jewish, between 12 and1300 people. 

In 1492, Zamora had the three major Jewish institutions: a Main Synagogue, a Talmud-Torah School, and a Jewish cemetery.
