Judiaria de Castelo de Vide
It is located in the medieval area of the town of Castelo de Vide, next to the Castle, in what was once the local Jewish quarter, as documents from the 14th and 15th centuries state. The neighborhood was crossed by one of the castle's main communication axes and its disintegration took place from the reign of King Manuel I, after the decree that imposed Catholic obedience on Jews who, in order not to be forced to abandon the town, were converting into New Christians. On some door jambs you can see Hebrew symbols.
