We start at the Shaarey Tikvah Synagogue – 1st
synagogue built after the Inquisition (1536-1821) in
Portugal by Moroccan & Gibraltar Jews who arrived
in the late 1700’s, some of them descendants of the
Portuguese & Spanish Jews who left the Iberian
Peninsula after the Edicts of Expulsion (1496 and
1492, respectively).
Walk through Bairro Alto Quarter till we get to a
viewpoint for an extraordinary view over the Castle
of Lisbon & the city centre. Today this
neighbourhood is the heart of the night life with a
high concentration of restaurants & bars. It started to be built in the early 1500’s by a great
part of Conversos who stayed in Portugal and continued their businesses with the trade.
Continue to Baixa (Downtown) where we will reach
the location of the Inquisition Court & Prison (today
the National Theatre Queen Maria II). Around the
corner, we will see the Memorial to the Victims of
the Massacre in 1506.
Walk through the former Main Jewish Quarter on the
way to the Alfama Quarter (old city) to see the
name of a street (Rua da Judiaria) where another
Jewish Quarter was located.
We will continue to the Commerce Square, where most of the Autos-de-Fé took place in
Lisbon. We end at the City Hall Square to finish our walk through the 3 co-existing Guettos
during the Medieval time up to the Edict of Expulsion, where a small Jewish Quarter was
located (Judiaria Pequena).
