Tomar and Óbidos Jewish Roots Private Tour 9H from Lisbon
Join us on an enriching journey through the heart of Portugal's Jewish history. This private tour delves into the lives, influence, and legacy of the Portuguese Jews, highlighting their profound impact on the most powerful order in Europe during the Middle Ages. Óbidos, known for its picturesque streets and historic castle, also boasts a significant Jewish heritage. The Jewish presence in Óbidos dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries when the village was a thriving hub of commerce and culture. Tomar was another vibrant center for Jewish life during the medieval period. The Jewish community played a crucial role in the town's cultural and economic development. We will visit the Tomar Synagogue, built in the 15th century and one of the oldest synagogues in Portugal, as well as the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a key symbol of the Knights Templar.
