History

Lisbon’s Jewish communities date back to medieval times; forced conversions and an expulsion decree in 1496 dramatically altered the city’s religious landscape, traces of which survive in urban layout and museum collections.

Conservation

Historic neighborhoods are fragile—stay on paved routes, avoid leaning on azulejo tiles, and support small museums and local guides who contribute to preservation.
