Museu Judaico de Belmonte, Jewish museum in Belmonte, Portugal.
The Jewish Museum of Belmonte displays over 100 religious artifacts, everyday objects, and professional tools used by Hebrew families in central Portugal.
Established in 2005, the museum preserves the legacy of a crypto-Jewish community that maintained their traditions since the 15th century despite persecution.
The museum collection presents medieval to 20th-century items reflecting Jewish practices, customs, and religious ceremonies developed under secrecy.
Located at Rua da Portela 4, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, with different schedules for summer and winter seasons.
The British newspaper Telegraph listed this institution among the 50 finest small museums in Europe, attracting 30,000 visitors annually.
