ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY
The Lisbon Synagogue, located at 59 Rua Alexandre Herculano, was the result of a long-standing effort by the city’s Jewish community. It was inaugurated on May 18, 1904 (Sivan 5, 5564, in the Hebrew calendar) under the name Shaaré Tikva (“Gates of Hope”).
It is the first synagogue built from scratch in Portugal since the forced conversions and official extinction of Portuguese Judaism in 1497. With a rectangular plan and facing Jerusalem, according to Jewish ritual, it has been considered a property of public interest since 2002.
