Jewish Heritage

The history of the Jewish people in Portugal reaches back over two thousand years and is directly related to Sephardic history. Centuries ago every major town, village and port had a Judiaria (Jewish quarter) with its own institutions and places of worship. At the height of Jewish culture in Portugal there were more than 150 Jewish communities throughout the nation. Many of the religious sites have vanished, but in most cases the memory of those once-thriving Jewish areas are remembered in place names, historic markers, and subtle signs such as Mezuzot door slots found in Castelo de Vide.

Our Private Jewish Heritage Tours will include guided visits to the synagogues in Lisbon and Porto as part of your tour and follow the routes of the sites throughout Portugal where Jewish life thrived throughout the centuries and take you throughout the land to learn in detail the stories which are integral in understanding this fascinating heritage.
