The Jewish of Belmonte tells a beautiful story of the Jewish population in their mountain town. The is upstairs, but they do have a lift available for those in need. There are many artifacts and lots of stories to read. There is a small gift shop as well. We had Arie a guide in the and through Belmont. His knowledge of the history of the Jewish population made the trip enjoyable. A beautiful that brings alive the stories of local Jews, Cryptojews and the survival from medieval Portugal and the Inquisition A small with few exhibits. Not much translated into English so that was a problem, but I was hoping for more stories about the Secret Jews of Belmonte, how they lived, managed to continue practicing their lifestyle based on their religion, evaded questioning etc. We read all we could and looked at everything including the audio visual film show in Portuguese, but couldn't make the visit last longer than half an hour. To be honest it was boring. Also there is bright strip lighting that zigzags across the floor, walls and ceiling and it affects your eyes and can make you unsteady on your feet, not pleasant. Not worth the €4 entry cost or time. Not child orientated either. You can buy a combined museums and castle entry ticket that lasts 3 days and gets you into all the museums in Belmonte which is good value. A village of martyred Jews during the Inquisition in Portugal. There is a and a synagogue We had Arieh +351 928 030 970 guide us in the and through Belmont. His personal and local knowledge of the history of the Jewish population is exactly what we wanted. 5 stars for Arieh. tours of people including children are visiting the Belmonte Jewish to learn the history of Jewish people in Portugal as people who don't know the history are doomed to repeat it. Fantastic to see and read all about the Jewish legacy Unique history of the Jewish people - the Crypto Jews. For those who do not understand Portuguese .. the subtitles are difficult to read.
