About Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal’s hilly capital, is a coastal city known for its cafe culture and soulful Fado music. From imposing São Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city’s pastel-colored buildings, Tagus Estuary and the Ponte 15 de Abril suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles. And just outside Lisbon is a string of Atlantic beaches, from Cascais to Estoril. With a population of 551,700, Lisbon enjoys a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers. Archaeological findings suggest there were Phoenician influences dating back to 1100 BC, leading some historians to believe that a Phoenician trading post might have occupied the centre of the present city. The westernmost part of Lisbon is occupied by the Parque Florestal de Monsanto. The city of Lisbon is rich in architecture; Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, Baroque, Modern and Postmodern constructions can be found all over Lisbon. There are several substantial museums one can visit in the city. Lisbon is home to many festivals every year.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Lisbon

The history of the Jews in Portugal reaches back over two thousand years and is directly related to Sephardi history. The history of Jews in Portugal was a changing scene of almost acceptance followed by antagonism and then more acceptance. The Jewish Community of Lisbon was finally officially recognized in 1913. According to its official website, the purpose of the Jewish Community of Lisbon is to promote religious education for the new generations according to the values of Judaism, to recruit new members and to strengthen its engagement in the local and national affairs, by means of dialogue and interaction with the authorities as well as with civil and religious institutions. The Jewsih population of the whole of Portugal numbers 600. The Jewish population of Lisbon is 300, where there are two synagogues, one Sephardic, Shaare Tikva and one Ashkenazi, Ohel Yaacov (Ohel Jacob). Lisbon's Jewish community is centered around the Comunidade Israelita de Lisboa, or the Jewish Community of Lisbon, a community center that houses Shaare Tikva. There are several individuals who provide kosher food in Lisbon.
