Itinerary

  • The Jews of the Iberian Peninsula lived in the territory that today is Portugal between the 4th and 15th century, living always between acceptance and rejection, which shaped a unique way of surviving through ingenuity and knowledge and entrepreneurship. Protected by the Kings, many of its members were philosophers, humanists, scientists, and merchants, but also common traders, such as cobblers, tailors, and weavers, and actively participated in society at the time. They have left their mark in Portuguese culture, science and even gastronomy. Along the streets of Downtown Lisbon, Alfama, Baixa, Rossio, and Chiado discover the incredible history of the New Christians, a distinctive Sephardic group that has survived more than 400 years of persecution in secret and how they perpetuated their rituals, flavors, and traditions.
