Jewish Lisbon Private Tours – Can you trace your family back to Portugal? Want to discover your ancestral roots? Or just interested in a bit of Jewish history? Let us put together a private tour for you that brings the ancient Jewish communities of Portugal to life.
Lisbon has a rich Jewish history dating back over a thousand years. The Jewish community in Lisbon was once one of the largest and most prosperous in Europe, contributing greatly to the city’s cultural and economic life. However, in the 15th century, King Manuel I forced Lisbon’s Jewish population to either convert to Christianity or leave the country. Many Jews were forcibly baptized and became “New Christians,” but continued to practice their religion in secret. Today, visitors can explore Lisbon’s Jewish heritage by visiting historic sites such as the Jewish Cemetery, the Lisbon Synagogue, and the Jewish Museum.
The Museum offers exhibits on the history of Jews in Portugal and the Inquisition, as well as cultural events and educational programs. Lisbon also hosts an annual Jewish cultural festival, which includes music, theater, film, and art, celebrating the city’s Jewish heritage and contributions.
