Located in Rossio Square, this simple yet powerful monument invites reflection, paying tribute to the thousands of Jews who once lived in Lisbon and suffered unimaginable persecution.

The memorial, inaugurated in 2006, now offers a space for remembrance, with inscriptions that evoke both pain and resilience.
