Susona Street

Attraction
SITE OVERVIEW

Susone Street was previously called calle de la Muerte (death street) because of the skull of the Jewish Susona. Two tiles recall the legend on the wall of number 10 (one on each side of the corner). The first is the skull of Susona and the second recounts the legend with these words: “En estos lugares, antigua calle de la muerte, pusose la cabeza de la hermosa Suona ben Suzón, quien, por amor, a su padre traicionó y por ello atormentada dipúsolo en testamento.” It seems to be the case that the father belonged to a group of Jews which was preparing an uprising in 1481. The conspirators wanted to gain power in the city and endeavour, with the support of the Moslems, to take on the Christians of Seville. The conspiracy involved Diego Susón, banker and the ringleader; Pedro Fernández de Venedara, steward of the cathedral; Juan Fernández de Alboslaya, the attorney and Mayor, Adolfo de Triana and many more. The first of them had a daughter called Susona, who had a secret relationship with a Christian knight, whom she fell in love with. When she found that part of the plans of her father along with the other conspirators, was to kill the man she loved, she didn´t hesitate in informing him. The result was: the consouracy was disbanded and its ringleaders were arrested and sentenced to death. It is said that after her death, she asked in her will for her skull to be placed by way of punishment and example at the house where she lived of her own free will.
