More information

The Jewish Memorial in Lisbon stands as a poignant reminder of the city’s rich Jewish heritage and the tragic events that unfolded during the 1506 massacre. Located in Rossio Square, this simple yet powerful monument invites reflection, paying tribute to the thousands of Jews who once lived in Lisbon and suffered unimaginable persecution.

A Glimpse into the Past

In the early 16th century, Lisbon’s thriving Jewish community faced a horrific event known as the 1506 massacre, where thousands lost their lives amidst the religious and social turmoil of that period. The memorial, inaugurated in 2006, now offers a space for remembrance, with inscriptions that evoke both pain and resilience.
