Since 1954, the Israeli community has had their centre in a beautiful and sober three-floor building in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi. They had to wait for five centuries in order to be allowed to set up a new Jewish community in Barcelona. Curiously enough, it is in this centre, which nowadays houses two synagogues, one Sephardic and one Ashkenazi, that in 1954 the first synagogue of the peninsula since 1492 was built, the year when the Jews were expelled. This community building houses apart from a library, a conference room, and a study rooms. They also have a Sephardic College in the same district.
