プライベート リスボン ユダヤ人ツアー - アルファマのユネスコ世界遺産に登録されているサイトを見る

We loved how our guide Vasco took us through the history of Jewish presence in Portugal from the time of the Phonecians, through the golden era of Portuguese as a leader in world trading and navigation and how Jewish participation was valued, as well as how the community eventually succumed to the inquisition and forced conversions, disappeared, and now is just starting to rebuild. The depth of detail was incredible and we learned many new things. The walk through Alfama showed us remnants of Jewish life that survived for centuries, such as architectural details that give clues to Jewish life in that area, for example, door lintels where marks show where mezuzahs were removed and crosses etched into the stone in their place to show compliance to their role as New Christians. The visit to the small Jewish cultural center and shule, and the Money Museum were additional highlights we enjoyed. A unique experience for anyone with interest on how Judaism helped shape the history of the Iberian peninsula - well researched and expertly presented.

Daniel was a fantastic guide. Super knowledgeable and great story teller. We really enjoyed the experience and experiencing the Jewish history of Lisbon
