Article History

Funes, town, Navarra provincia (province) and comunidad autónoma (autonomous community), northern Spain. It lies along the Arga River.

At the beginning of the 12th century, Funes and the neighbouring town of Viguera were granted a charter that included regulations governing relations between the Christian and Jewish communities; rules of evidence in litigation between Christians and Jews were established; ordeal by battle was forbidden, and a high blood price was fixed for the murder of a Jew. Jewish landowners were required to pay tithes to the church, but in 1171 King Sancho VI freed the Jews from payment of all dues in return for an undertaking to maintain the citadel. The Jewish community had its own executive official. A list of fines levied against persons who broke the regulations survives from the 13th century, but little is known of the Jewish community of Funes after that time. Funes is a centre for sugar-beet and asparagus cultivation, and there are gypsum quarries in the vicinity. There are wineries in the town proper. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 2,358.
