As we passed through the Horses’ Well Gate, I recalled the metalic shiver the gates to the Judiaria Pequena made when the Old Christian guards locked the Jews inside for the night. A shout from above turned us. Our former rabbi, Fernando Losa, was waving at us to wait from the top of the Synagogue Steps.”
Richard Zimler, The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon (1996)
A walking tour in Lisbon, starting at the Little Judiaria (jewish ghetto) in Alfama, through the Great Judiaria, or Small Jerusalem, finishing at the Rossio square to witness the terrible pogrom in 1506.
A visit to the ancient city buried under our feet, that you can only see if you close your eyes. Based on Richard Zimler’s novel.
Meeting point: Largo do Chafariz de Dentro (in front of the Museu do Fado)We recommend comfortable shoes.
