The Belmonte Jewish Museum (Portuguese: Museu Judaico de Belmonte), is a museum in Belmonte, Portugal, which depicts the long history of the Jewish community in the village, which survived many centuries of religious persecution. It is the first museum of its kind in Portugal, located in the last stronghold of the crypto-Jewish community established there around the 15th century.[1][2]
The museum displays over a hundred religious, everyday, and professional use items used by Jewish families, especially Beira Interior and Trás-os-Montes. The museum attracts over 30,000 visitors a year and is considered one of the best of its kind throughout the Iberian Peninsula.[1] British newspaper The Telegraph included the museum in its list of the 50 best small museums in Europe.[3]
