Leonor, and adjoining buildings including Saint Antony&rsquo;s Chapel and a church noted for its Baroque style.</span></span></span></p>&#x0D;

The castle was dedicated to Saint George in the late 14^th century by King John I.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span>Lisbon&#39;s ancient cathedral was built by Portugal&#39;s first king on the site of an old mosque in 1150 for the city&#39;s first bishop, the English crusader Gilbert of Hastings.&nbsp;From outside (with two bell towers and a splendid rose window) it resembles a medieval fortress, while inside it appears predominantly Romanesque, with a Gothic choir and ambulatory.</span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span><span>Jewish people were the advisors of Kings and Queens, doctors and even some of the explorers, geographers and mathematicians. The tour will start with a general introduction to the Jewish presence of the city, followed by a nice walk in the city centre passing by the site of the 1506 Jewish Massacre</span></span></span>&nbsp;<span><span><span>near the </span></span></span><span><span><span>Church of Sao Domingos</span></span></span><span><span><span> and the most well preserved Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>Jewish and medieval Quarter. Alfama </span></span></span><span><span><span>is a village within a city still made up of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with tile panels and wrought-iron balconies adorned with pots of flowers, drying laundry, and caged birds.</span></span></span>&nbsp;<br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span><span>With the abolition of the Inquisition in 1821, families of Sephardic Jews decided to return to Portugal. Most of these Jews were merchants from Morocco and Gibraltar. These were people with a cultural level greatly above average. They could read, speak and write in liturgical Hebrew, Arabic, English and Hakitia, the Moroccan judeo-hispanic dialect.</span></span></span><br />&#x0D; &nbsp;<br />&#x0D; <span><span><span>We will continue our tour with a visit to the only </span></span></span><span><span><span>Synagogue of Lisbon (Shaar&eacute; Tikv&aacute;), passing by the Commerce Square, the place where thousands of Jews were forced to be baptized in the 15th century. </span></span></span></p>&#x0D;
