Our visit to Belmonte included a stop at the Synagogue where we met several members of the community who seemed genuinely happy to greet visitors to their community. The synagogue is active and has various weekly activities for the Annucim and other Jews of Portugal who want to connect to their heritage. They welcomed us warmly and explained their background and connection to the Sefardic community who were instrumental in helping fund their lovely building. Best to make an appointment before visiting, as building may not be open at all times.

A very well conserved castle, in a beautiful village, with a lot of attractions at walking distance from it.

The Tower of Centum Cellas (also known as the "Tower of St. Cornelius"), located in the municipality of Belmonte in Portugal, is one of the most enigmatic monuments from the Roman period to be found in the country. These majestic ruins were part of a large Roman pub or guesthouse from the first century AD, situated on the road that linked Augusta Emerita (Merida) to Bracara Augusta (Braga).
No mistery here! This gorgepus ruin has been extensively researched by ethnologists and archaelogists. Built around the beginnings of the Christian Era, it was originally a private residence, then it was rebuilt as a praetorium for Roman officials and troops. The Portuguese kings took over in the XIIth century. The tower is currently undergoing further research and entrance in the site is forbidden. But it is still a must see. Built in Syrian style, the tower is a rare sight in Europe. And still oh so pretty...
