Private Jewish Heritage Tour of Lisbon

The Private Jewish Heritage Tour of Lisbon tour focused on Lisbon’s history and its strong connection with the Jewish community.

A long and intricate history that began even before the founding of the kingdom of Portugal and continued through years of persecution and religious intolerance.

In Lisbon’s historic center, you can feel these strong ties between the Jewish community and Portuguese culture, which we are so proud to preserve.

Discover the best sites, important artifacts, and stories that bring Lisbon’s Jewish heritage to life in a truly surprising way.

Tour highlights

Alfama district.

The neighborhood of Alfama is a labyrinth of narrow streets and winding alleys. It is the oldest quarter of the city and the place where a small Jewish quarter was located in the 14th century. It is also the birthplace of Fado, the typical song of Lisbon, classified as Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Saint Dominic’s church

The 13th century São Domingos church was the first Dominican church in Lisbon. For centuries it was considered the most important church in Lisbon, where beautiful royal weddings and baptisms took place. Today there is a monument and a mural in the square outside the church, inaugurated in 2008, that says “Lisbon, the City of Tolerance” in 34 languages remembering the terrible episode of 1506 and paying tribute to the Jewish victims.

Shaaré Tikva Synagogue

Judaism in Portugal changed at the beginning of the 19th century, when the Sephardi Jews from Morocco and Gibraltar, mostly merchants, started to migrate to Lisbon. During the 19th century, the Jewish community of Lisbon had no formal synagogue and had to celebrate their religious rites in private houses. When the construction of the Lisbon’s Synagogue began its main facade had to face an inner courtyard because the Portuguese law at the time forbade non-Catholic temples from facing the street. Shaaré Tikvah Synagogue (Gates of Hope) was finally opened in 1904 and is still used today.

Other interesting places you may visit

Belém district.

The launching point for the Portuguese discoveries, with significant historic monuments in a beautiful open riverside setting. Here you can admire the Belem Tower, the Discoveries Monument, visit the church of the Jerónimos Monastery and taste the world-famous custard tarts of Belém.
