Belmonte Jewish Museum is Portugal’s first Jewish Museum that portrays the History of Jewish people in this country, as well as its integration in the Portuguese society and the decisive role it played in Portuguese culture, art, literature and trade.

The community that, for centuries, resisted the expulsion edicts of the Catholic Monarchs, the expulsion or conversion decree of King Manuel I, the watchful eye of the Holy Inquisition and the punishments of its tribunal, deserves to be remembered.

Pieces from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, used by Jews and New Christians in everyday life or in religious practices, can be found in this museum.
