Abstract
Already mentioned in 13th century written sources, the Arriasa neighborhood was an area within the Toledan Jewish quarter that still remained to be identified and demarcated. Documentary evidence –tenancy agreement charters dated back from the 13th until the 18th centuries–, as well as information on the vicissitudes experienced by the Jewish common properties from the late 15th century on, have been used to locate the butcher’s stalls, the “old synagogue” and the “old castle” on a street plan. Thus, the Arriasa neighborhood has been clearly delimited.

Summary
Tres daban a la plaza «donde están las tiendas de los carniceros», y las otras tres hacían frente a las tiendas que se apoyaban contra el muro del castillo, en la calle «que fue del alguacil almojarife Abuibrahim» El barrio de Arriasa incluía, por lo tanto, al menos la calle del barrio de Arriasa ; otra calle, de actividad comercial, perpendicular a ésta; y por detrás de las tres casas descritas más arriba, la plaza de los carniceros. Este barrio mantenía su nombre de Arriasa, o de Harrat Arrieça, a fines del siglo xiv, como vemos en documentos notariales de 1353 7 y 1396 8. Ya hemos dotado de un contenido al barrio de Arriasa a fines del siglo xiii; intentaremos, en lo que sigue, localizar los puntos de referencia principales del barrio, a saber, la plaza de los carniceros y el castillo viejo de los judíos
