What you can expect

Explore the legacy left by the Jewish community in the city and learn about their time here, always keeping the national context in mind.

When did the Jews arrive? When did they leave, and why, and how did they leave the country? Where did they live in Coimbra? What was their importance and legacy in the city and the country? What links Coimbra/Portugal to the Second World War? These are some of the questions we'll be trying to answer on the tour.

See places in Coimbra linked to its Jewish past, which some of them, are of great national and international importance ( such as the Incquisition Courtyard, or the Jewish Quarter).

Uncover the incredible legacy of the Jewish community in Coimbra.
