Sinagoga de Tomar — Museu Luso-Hebraico

Monuments & churches · Museums & culture

Portugal's best-preserved medieval synagogue, c. 1430–1460, built in the old Jewish quarter. After the Jews were expelled in 1496 it served as a jail and then a warehouse. The four columns survive, and so do the clay jars set into the walls to carry the sound. Named for astronomer Abraão Zacuto.
