Over the course of two and a half hours, I will explore and explain the Jewish presence in Porto, tracing its historical context and evolution from the high medieval period to the present day. Our main focus will be on the medieval period, particularly the construction of the Jewish quarter and the subsequent loss of peace. We will discuss the conversos, or "Cristãos Novos, " and the lack of religious freedom they faced. The devastating impact of the Inquisition will also be key topic. Finally, we will examine the local Jewish community's developments after the 20th century. After conducting dozens of Jewish tours, I must say that they are the most challenging for me, and my travelers have always encouraged me to learn more and find answers to a wide variety of questions. During this tour, I will be available to share my knowledge, but also to listen to your questions and contributions.
