Guided tour of the Portuguese Synagogue

What you'll see

What happens in a synagogue service? What are all those objects in the treasure chambers? And why do they have sand on the floor? Discover the answers to these and a host of questions when you take our interactive tour of the Portuguese Synagogue.

The magnificent Portuguese Synagogue was built in 1675 and has remained unchanged ever since. Worshippers still sit on the original 17th-century seats. The synagogue still serves as a house of prayer. And weddings are still celebrated here.
